SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB UPDATE
WE TAKE A LOOK AT RECENT EVENTS FOR MEMBERS OF THE DUBLIN FIRE BRIGADE SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB (DFBSSC).

Some of what was involved in the organisation of these important social outings is detailed in the following pages. In addition to the Committee, I would like to also thank the Staff and Management in The Church Bar who are always a pleasure to deal with.
WORLD FIREFIGHTER GAMES LISBON 2022 & WORLD POLICE AND FIRE GAMES ROTTERDAM 2022 We are looking to hear from those interested in travelling to either of these Games next year to represent the DFB. They are both extremely well-organised events, a chance to compete against other emergency services from around the world, and importantly, a lot of fun.
