A new RTE series that starts tonight showcases the world of the emergency services and meets everyday heroes behind the stories, including Derry's own Foyle Search and Rescue.
The four-part Irish language '999 Faoi Olliunt' charts the lives and progress of new recruits in the fire brigade, ambulance service, mountain rescue and coast guard.
In Derry, Foyle Search and Rescue was set up in 1993 in response to the high number of drownings in the River Foyle. The volunteers are trained to deal with accident and suicide prevention as well as rescuing people.
