Clare County Fire and Rescue Service has added a new emergency tender fire appliance to its fleet. The €350,000 vehicle will be based permanently at Ennis Fire Station and will respond to major incidents across the county. The appliance was fully funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage under its Fire Appliance Procurement Programme. The €600,000 project includes design consultancy, architectural and engineering services, as well as mechanical and electrical engineering, structural engineering, civil engineering and project management consultancy. Clare County Council also plans to increase the number of appliance bays to six at the new station.
