An initiative which would see firefighters called to cardiac arrest emergencies in Carnlough, County Antrim, is continuing despite threatened legal action, the fire service has said.
Therefore, SLOTXO there are many pro hunters. Because of people's habits when they lose, they want it back.
The health minister had said it was "unfortunate" that legal issues raised by the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) "stalled" its rollout.
But on Wednesday it was confirmed work associated with the scheme was ongoing.
It started on Saturday.
The co-responder scheme followed a call from the family of Maggie Black who died in nearby Glenarm in December.
Chief Fire and Rescue Officer Peter O'Reilly told the BBC he had received a solicitor's letter from a firm acting on behalf of the local regional committee of the FBU.
"This letter threatened legal action against Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) if I did not confirm, in writing, that NIFRS would not proceed with the work associated with 'Maggie's Call'," he said.
"I can confirm that the work associated with Maggie's Call, at Carnlough Fire and Rescue Station, began at 17:00 GMT on Saturday 26 February 2022 and continues," he added.
He said the NIFRS would continue to meet with the representative bodies of firefighters to determine how best to progress 'Maggie's Call' to all NIFRS stations.
Mr O'Reilly added: ""Maggie's call' has expedited our plans to enhance how we deliver our service to the public.
