On Thursday morning at 5am, the unit were called to an ambulance assist, and that evening were also called to a case of a fire alarm activation.

Sunday morning saw the unit called to an incident off New Square in Mitchelstown, where two pedestrians in their 40s were involved in a traffic collision with a van. On Sunday evening also near the town, the unit were called to clean-up after another traffic incident.

Finally, on Wednesday evening the local unit were out again, this time to Glennon Brothers in Fermoy where they assisted the Fermoy Fire Brigade in tackling a loader fire, which was brought under control quickly.
