In 2009 to date, over €1 million has been recouped to Waterford County Council in respect of work completed on Dungarvan fire station, the purchase of a new fire appliance, the purchase of two water tankers as well as the retro-fitting of exhaust extraction systems in Tramore and Cappoquinn fire stations. In recent years, a further €1.2 million was recouped to the Council in respect of fire stations in Ardmore, Dungarvan, Dunmore East and Tramore.

The provision of exchequer funding to support further investment in County Waterford fire service will have regard to the fire authority's priorities, the spread of existing facilities and the totality of demands from other fire authorities for available funding.
