As emergency services across Ireland seek smarter and more compassionate ways to respond to crises, SafeShel is becoming a trusted essential for frontline teams. Designed to provide privacy, protection, and dignity during emergencies, SafeShel is now in use by Civil Defence teams in Dublin, Laois, Louth, and most recently, Offaly — with more counties showing interest every week.
What is SafeShel?
SafeShel is an award-winning emergency shelter solution that creates a secure, enclosed space at the scene of an incident. It allows medical responders to treat casualties out of public view, shielding them from weather conditions, intrusive photography, and unwanted attention. Whether deployed during a public event, road traffic collision, or outdoor activity incident, SafeShel promotes:
- Reduced emotional impact – Minimise distress for both casualties and bystanders during emergencies.
- Discreet, respectful care – Shield casualties from public view and maintain dignity in vulnerable moments.
- A focused treatment space – Create a calm, enclosed area that supports efficient and effective medical response.
- Weather-resistant shelter – Protect patients and responders from rain, wind, heat, or cold.
Laois Civil Defence Leads with Compassionate Response
The Laois Civil Defence team has recently taken delivery of their SafeShel unit, showing a commitment to innovation and dignity-led casualty care. The shelter will support their volunteers across a wide range of deployments, from community events to real-time emergencies, where rapid setup and discreet treatment environments are crucial.
Dublin Civil Defence Joins the Movement
Dublin Civil Defence has also equipped their response teams with SafeShel, further expanding the presence of this innovation within Ireland’s emergency response community. With Dublin’s high volume of public events and varied terrain, SafeShel gives responders a versatile tool to deliver high-standard care under pressure.
Louth Civil Defence Embraces Dignity in Emergencies
Among the growing number of teams adopting SafeShel is Louth Civil Defence, reinforcing the national recognition of the need for privacy-focused casualty care. With their unit now in use, Louth’s emergency responders are equipped to offer a more controlled and respectful response during both urban and rural incidents. This move reflects a wider shift toward compassion-first emergency practices across Ireland.
Offaly Civil Defence Adopts SafeShel
Most recently, Offaly Civil Defence has added SafeShel to its emergency response equipment. Recognising the value of quick deployment, privacy protection, and the improved care environment SafeShel creates, Offaly’s team is taking a proactive step toward modernising their casualty care. Their adoption of SafeShel signals a continued trend of forward-thinking approaches in Ireland’s emergency support services.
A New Era in Emergency Support
As more Civil Defence teams begin adopting SafeShel, it’s clear that dignity in emergency care is becoming a priority across the country. These shelters aren’t just about privacy—they’re about professionalism, compassion, and giving both responders and casualties the tools they need to achieve better outcomes.
