2007 Rejoined Service

As our crew are retained, every member lives and works around the town, and if a 999 or 112 emergency call arises, the pagers are activated and the Brigade can be turned out in an average of 5 minutes. Every member of the Crew is Qualified in First Aid and we also have 2 members trained to First Responder.

On Wednesday 8th June 2005, we joined CAMP WEST which stands for Computer Aided Mobile Programme. This now means that nearly every Fire brigade in the West of Ireland are called out from a Central Control in Castlebar, now known as WRCC

(West Regional Control Centre)

The dedicated Personnel that are on duty in the Control Centre in Castlebar, which is manned 24 hours, 365 days a year, give us all the information we need by means of a paper print-out and we are always in radio communication with them at all times.

 All routing directions to get to the Fire incident as well as caller details and other vital information are on this print-out.

CAMP Control Centres in Ireland are WRCC ( Conaught & Donegal), CAMP LEINSTER ( Leinster, Cavan & Monaghan) & CAMP MUNSTER

A Special word of thanks to all the lads on the Crew who provide me with Photographs, Newspaper Cuttings etc, for putting on this website.
