Limerick fire service welcomes seven recruits

SEVEN firefighters have joined Limerick city’s fire service, the first group in 20 years to have been trained in Ireland.

For the past two decades recruits went to a training centre outside Manchester in Britain.

The seven firefighters completed a 13-week training course at Dublin Fire Brigade’s Training Centre in Marino with instructors from Dublin and Limerick. Limerick City Council’s Director of Services for the Environment and Emergency Services, Caroline Curley, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer training to our Limerick firefighter recruits in Ireland once again. Limerick City Council is very impressed with the quality and standard of training these seven recruits received in Dublin.”
