ENVIRONMENT minister John Gormley will be in Clare this Friday to join the Mayor of Clare, Council- lor Patricia McCarthy (Ind), in offi- cially opening the new extension to Killaloe Fire Station.

Adrian Kelly, Chief Fire Offic- er, Clare County Fire and Rescue Service said that the completion of the extension and upgrade works to Killaloe Fire Station would ensure that Killaloe and surrounding areas would continue to be served by a quality fire and rescue service.

The new facilities include a recon-

figured appliance bay to include a 4WD vehicle, new drying room fa- cilities, a watch room, lecture room, male and female facilities, a breath- ing apparatus maintenance room, a resurfaced drill yard, security fenc- ing, a boundary wall and automatic gate. General refurbishments and re- decoration was also carried out.

“T would like to congratulate eve- rybody involved in delivering these new improved facilities.

“Of course, we should not forget the dedicated fire fighters who put their own safety on the line day in day out to protect members of the local com- munity,” said Mayor McCarthy.
