3.4 STAKEHOLDER LIAISON &
INTER-AGENCY COLLABORATION

Dublin Fire Brigade recognises that in 2024, effective stakeholder liaison and inter-agency
collaboration have become crucial components in ensuring optimal service delivery and
community safety. As urban environments continue to grow and evolve, DFB faces increasingly
complex challenges that require coordinated responses across multiple sectors and developing
strong relationships with these stakeholders ensure a unified approach to emergency response,
resource management, and preparedness planning. By fostering open lines of communication
and shared strategies, DFB can enhance its operational efficiency, improve public safety
outcomes, and adapt to emerging risks and demands. Such collaboration not only strengthens
the response to emergencies but also supports proactive measures, ensuring a more resilient

and responsive fire and rescue service for the city’s residents.
