FIRE STATION AT DOLPHINS BARN

07/07/2023

"Dolphin's Barn" is an area on the southwest edge of inner city Dublin, named for the Dolphyn family who had a barn there when it was not a part of the city.

The station at Dolphin's Barn has two fire engines, an emergency tender, an ambulance and a D/O’s vehicle with command unit, with 16 , an S/O and two Sub Officers, working with 13 members every day and 12 at night.

There are currently 14 fire stations staffed by DFB, 12 of which are full-time, the other 2 are part-time or "retained". There were formerly stations at Tara Street (now the adjacent Central Fire Station), Winetavern Street, Buckingham Street Lower, Thomas Street, Dorset Street Upper, Rathmines, Blackrock, and Dún Laoghaire - the latter three had been built by their respective councils before DFB started operating across the whole of Dublin County.
