MINISTER for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government; Michael Kitt, visited Rathkeale and Newcastlewest Fire Stations to present them with an award for the re-certification to ISO 9001: 2000.
This is the International Standard Of Service Delivery Certificate, which once again our local fire stations have qualified for.
This is given to a quality management system that demonstrates it’s ability to enhance customer satisfaction, and displays processes for continual improvement of the system.
This award was presented to the station officers and crew, by the Chief Fire Officer Carmel Kirby.
Ms Kirby said: “Planning, organisation and hard work is the key to our success in providing a fire and rescue service to the 124,265 people living, working and visiting County Limerick. I am proud of our team of retained firefighters and full time staff who work so hard to maintain a standard of service that complies with the international standard ISO 9001:2000 and particularly focuses on providing the services that are clearly needed and valued by our customers in County Limerick”.
