Yes Lebby... Although the stats count all types of fires they would run the most structures along with their 2nd due in their battalion. At one stage (back in the 90's) Tallaght was the busiest fire station in Europe. Not sure where it sits now in European terms
Like everywhere John so long as they are not busy they've always time for visitors.
I recently brought a Chief from NYC to Tara St and he spent the best part of the day there. Even the Chief Fire Officer (COD) came down to say hello. Very welcoming

Well done again
