FIRE STATION TURNOUTS 2016

The Fire Services Act, 1981 sets out the rules and regulations for that the fire service works to. The NDFEM provides support to the Local Authorities to make sure these rules and regulations are put in place and that health and safety is prioritised. We provide funding to the fire service for the purchase of appliances and equipment. We also support the fire service by running a national training programme and by publishing guidance on relevant matters and by setting general policy.
