Our Chief Retires after long Distinguished Service

Congratulations to our Fire Chief Bobby McMenamin in County Donegal who retired recently. Bobby served in the Fire Service for nearly 38 years which saw his career start as a Firefighter with the Buncrana Fire Brigade in 1974 and worked his way up the ranks to Fire Chief here in County Donegal. The Fire Crew in Bundoran and indeed Firefighters from all over the County wish him and his family all the happiness in his retirement. Bobby has two sons following in his footsteps in Letterkenny Fire Brigade.

No New Fire Station for Bundoran in 2011 or 2012?

Bundoran will not get its new Fire Station in the foreseeable future until the economic downturn has changed. According to the Minister of the Environment, Funding will certainly not be made available this year or next year. These cutbacks are affecting not alone the Bundoran and Ballyshannon Fire Stations, but throughout the country.

Bundoran Town Council unanimously passed a motion that a Delegation from Bundoran meet with the Minister to address the importance of the new Station being built as soon as it is possible. A new site had previously been passed for going to planning stage by the previous Government at the East End of the Town, between the Bypass and Bundoran Roundabouts, but this has now been put on hold.

"This site is dedicated to all the Firefighters who served with the Bundoran Fire Brigade. The commitment that they and their families gave to the town of Bundoran, for without them, much property and many lives would not have been saved"
