Description

In this high-flying episode of Strap Yer Boots, we sit down with the remarkable Debbie Hally—winchman with Ireland’s elite Rescue 117 crew. From the streets to the skies, Debbie takes us through her extraordinary journey, beginning as an advanced paramedic and transitioning into one of the most demanding and adrenaline-fueled roles in emergency response.

We dive into the grit, courage, and heart it takes to dangle from a helicopter in brutal Irish weather, reaching people in their most vulnerable moments. Debbie shares the challenges she faced, the training that reshaped her body and mind, and the rescues that will stay with her forever.

Whether you're drawn to the drama of rescue missions or inspired by stories of trailblazing women pushing boundaries, this episode is not one to miss.

Strap yer boots—it’s about to get intense.
