On Tuesday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Deborah Hickie, Kilkee-based retained firefighter.

Deborah is leading a powerful national campaign to recruit retained firefighters across Ireland.

Since last September, over 560 new recruits have joined the ranks — but many stations still need more hands on deck.

Deborah is here to share what life on the front line is really like, why community-based firefighting matters, and how you — or someone you know — could step up and serve.
