Fire Brigade Access on Narrow Streets

I tabled the following question at tonight’s meeting of Dublin City Council.  Readers might be interested in the reply:

Q10.     Councillor Dermot Lacey

Legal parking at entrance to Durham Road from Newgrove Avenue now (particularly at night) means that a conventional Fire Brigade won’t get past as it’s too narrow. I’m sure this situation is not unique to this
location but occurs many times across the city.

Does DCC Fire Service have any narrower vehicles to overcome too narrow access points for conventional machinery?

Reply

If the emergency services have any issues with the parking they will liaise with the Area Traffic Engineer, Mt. Rory Boland.

The Fire Brigade do not have narrow vehicles.  They have the standard Class B Appliances, which comply with the Irish Standard En 1846-1-2-3 for fire fighting and rescue vehicles.  If the areas are confined and if access is needed the offending vehicles are removed by whatever means is necessary.  The Fire Brigade also
address this by using a large hose over the required distance (approx. 250 metres) .

The Area Traffic Engineer will examine the location to assess if access can be improved at this location.
