Fire stations of the world: Finglas Fire Station, Dublin, Ireland

​Dublin Fire Brigade’s Finglas Fire Station was opened on 12 April 1972 costing IR£97 000 to build. Finglas Fire Station is also known as Number 5 Station within Dublin Fire Brigade and is situated at Mellows Road, Finglas North in Dublin, Ireland. The station has one fire engine, one ambulance and a district officer for 'F' district. It has about 50 fire fighters working at the station across four watches. Given the breadth of Finglas’ area of responsibility, it’s no surprise that it’s a busy station. No 5 covers to the borders of Phibsborough’s area in Glasnevin and from there right up to the border with Louth. They also respond when required to domestic incidents or RTCs alongside crews from Swords, and Skerries and Balbriggan retained fire stations. Bristol-Myers Squibb in Swords presents a potential hazmat challenge, which the large electrical station on the North Road, where large amounts of fuel are stored, adds to the list of potential large-scale incidents. Training obviously plays a key role, with regular training exercises arranged to keep the crew up-to-date in the event of an incident.
 
Today, Dublin Fire Brigade’s dual role fire fighter/paramedic system is serving the city well, with stations strategically located north and south of the Liffey calls are responded to with little or no delay. As with most stations around Dublin, medical cases far outweigh calls to attend fires.
