Letterkenny Fire station Scania P270

I've visited Ireland this and came along a lot of Fire stations. Unfortunetly in the North most of the stations are retained. I was lucky that the (retained) Station officer was in. The officer was very kind to drive two vehicles outside. Special thanks to him !!
This is a 2006 Scania P270 with a Browns bodywork.

my mistake the NIFRS has 68 Fire Stations across Northern Ireland:


49 Retained (Part-time Firefighters respond to calls when alerted)
8 Wholetime (Full-time Firefighters on station 24hrs a day)
6 Wholetime/Retained (Mixture of Full-time and Part-time Firefighters)
3 Variable Crewed (Full-time Firefighters on station from 11am-11pm; Retained Firefighters provide back up when required during core hours and respond to emergencies first outside core hours)
1 Wholetime (Defined Hours)
1 Volunteer (Rathlin Rescue Station is manned by Volunteer Firefighters who live on Rathlin Island)
112 Frontline Fire Appliances (not including reserves or training)
