Meath County Fire & Rescue Service are delighted to have received a new Scania Fire Appliance for Navan Fire Station.

This vehicle was provided under the governments ‘Fire Service Capital Programme 2016 – 2020’ and is now in full service as a frontline firefighting appliance.

In addition to this a Scania F28 Bronto Skylift, Combined Aerial Rescue Platform (CARP), was also purchased for Navan Fire Station in March 2020 – this was to replace the Simon Snorkel Hydraulic Platform which had been in service in Navan since the ‘90s.

Meath Chief Fire Officer Pádraig Ó Longaigh said “both fire appliances provide a welcome upgrade to our Fire Service fleet and will enhance emergency service operations for the coming years. Meath County Fire & Rescue Service is committed to providing the best service possible to citizens and communities across Co.Meath.”
