Message from the Webmaster

Eamon and myself would like to thank everyone who contributed to the site over the last number of years and hope that this will continue into 2009. It IS very much appreciated.

Photographs from a few counties are still required, in particular we would welcome photo's of the CURRENT appliances in CAVAN, GALWAY, MAYO, MONAGHAN and WICKLOW. Photographs from other counties are also welcome.

In particular photographs of WICKLOW's 09 Scania WrL, SLIGO's 08 Scania ET and CLONES new fire station would be appreciated.

We're also looking for UPDATED Fleet-lists from all 32 counties......can YOU help?

Information on Drill/Practice nights in ALL areas and actual addresses of fire stations would also be appreciated.

ANY photo's used on the site will will be credited with the name of the sender.
