Sinn Féin Councillor Welcomes Developments for New Fire Station in Newtownhamilton

Published: 20 August, 2008

Councillor Jimmy McCreesh has welcomed a recent announcement that NIFRS is planning to build a new 'Fit for Purpose' Fire Station in Newtownhamilton.
Councillor McCreesh said,
"I very much welcome these recent developments. The current station has provided invaluable service to the community in Newtownhamilton and surrounding areas for sometime. However the current premises have become very dated. It is important to have a modern facility to deal with any emergency as efficiently as possible."
The Councillor added,

"Recently we have seen the importance of the emergency services during the floods in Rostrevor. It is reassuring that we will have a modern facility here to deal with such emergencies
