Dublin Fire Brigade has 15 stations 11 of which
are fulltme crewed 24 hours a day every day of the year. The four
retained stations are crewed only when responding to a call via
a paging system or on drill nights where crews practice their firefighting
skills. These retained stations are located in North Country Dublin
at Swords, Malahide, Balbriggan and Skerries. Sword had a new station
opened in 2004 and it is envisaged that this will be going fulltime
in the near future.
Each fulltime station has an ambulance (H.Q. has 2 ) except Dun
Laoghaire and is crewed by 2 firefighter/ Paramedic 1(E.M.T- B)
The stations are organized into six districts Alpha to Foxtrot with
a district officer in charge of each e.g. District Officer Alpha.
Each station and vehicle has it's own callsign and all callsigns
are preceded by the word Delta which signifies Dublin. CK or Charlie
Kilo is Cork etc.
