It has been revealed
Bagenalstown Fire Station is to get a new roof and showers to improve conditions for firefighters.
A tender document is currently being prepared for design and consultancy services to carry out repair and refurbishment works to the existing fabric and structure of Muine Bheag Fire Station.
It is anticipated that the works will consist of the existing station roof being replaced, underpinning and structural works to the rear station wall which has subsided, rewiring of the building as well as improvements to plumbing, showering and sanitary facilities.
These works will significantly improve conditions for firefighters at the station.
A site survey was previously conducted of Bagenalstown Fire Station which discovered "many structural deficiencies" within the building.
