CARLOW FIRE and Rescue Service this week received three new Maxus 9 vans, which will support the vital work of the service throughout the county.
The vans were supplied by the Harris Group and fitted out for fire service use by HPMP, Tullow, to provide support vehicles for Carlow, Muinebheag and Tullow fire stations.
“The vans all have vehicle-mounted safety signs, which will provide advance warning to traffic approaching incidents and will be used to carry additional firefighters and equipment to emergencies,” said Ben Woodhouse, acting chief fire officer.
“I wish to thank my team who were involved in this project, including the fire service fit-out completed by a local company, HPMP, Tullow. We look forward to seeing the vehicles in operational service for the county,” he added.
Noel Howard, MD of HPMP Fire, said the company is delighted to be involved in this project with Ben and his team in Carlow County Fire and Rescue Service.
“These vehicles are fitted out to a very high specification, including traffic management signs, making them a very versatile asset in the Carlow fleet. Best of luck to everyone,” he said.
