Postal Address ?

Kinsalebeg National School School in the Republic of Ireland Address: Kinsalebeg NS, NR, Youghal, Co. Cork, P36 F827

Kinsalebeg National School is in County Waterford




And the North Ring Road is only on one side of that fire station - Spring Lane bounds it on two sides

There are no entrances in Spring Lane. It’s on the North Ring Road and therefore Ballyvolane Fire Station is in Ballyvolane. Spring Lane isn’t the Glen either btw.

I see the City Council got lucky.....even within the last few days

In fairness IRA/SF have a huge data base for names addresses etc . The server is hosted in Germany for some unexplained reason

Job well done on all accounts

Gardaí investigating fire at Cork site earmarked for Ukrainian families

A rapid response limited the amount of damage caused but locals are believed to be extremely shaken by the incident.

I have no idea what resources that the City Fire Service had to employ there, I am imaging at least 2 pumps from Anglesea St, that is being Conservative.

So after midnight 2 pumps gone from the City Centre all the way to the West of Ballincollig.

That maybe left enough crew in there to man another pump.

So if God forbid there was a house fire say in Mahon while that was going on in Ballincollig, the service is suddenly very thin on the ground

Then yes there is Ballyvolane too, another crew up there and 2 pumps, however only enough to crew the one.

So what if there was 3 incidents at the one time?

Then a 4 th call came in.

As I said, the City Council are a very thin thread here

So it seems to some that the appropriate fire cover for Ballincollig is now all sorted out.

The solution is now in effect, there is an extra operational pump working in Anglesea Street Station, during the day time hours.

How that is a solution, God only knows.

It's all sorted I believe.

Be interesting to see response times for incidents in and around the Ballincollig area from before and now, from Anglesea St. Given that Anglesea St. is manned 24/7, they are on the road in minutes. Time to incident would be (massively time of day dependant)15-20 minutes?? For a retained crew who have to receive the call, drop what they are doing and get to base/kitted up/mobile etc, I wonder what the difference is?

The more pumps available the better obviously as, with all emergency services, you're paid for what you can do, not what you do do.

Bang on there, but there are other factors like, is there another incident occurring when that Ballincollig shout comes in.
This extra crew is as such only during day time shifts.

I know that on many occasions the city crews get to calls before County crews while responding to incidents in the County.

Victor Shine was on the opinion line this morning with P Coogan.
He said that new satellite stations will be built to cater for the expansion of the city.
He mentioned in some many words that Anglesea street station is not suitable as the modern policy is the have a number of stations surrounding the city.
Has this been discussed with staff who as a result may have to relocate to the various stations.
Relocation packages should be discussed now as we don't want to the situation whereby a number of satellite stations are built and staff refuse to occupy them.

Put some good grub in them, a decent kitchen, etc. and they'll flock there. All they're doing 90% of the time is sitting around eating.
