Made with Xara Web Designer Scroll over picture to enlarge Above are some photos of the first Fire Engine and crew in Rathdrum                                  a 1941  Morris/Merryweather   These photos are of the first Fire Engine and crew in Rathdrum and what we believe to be the first in Co Wicklow. It is a 1941 Morris/Merryweather NI 4022  and It was placed in Rathdrum in the 1940’s because of its central location in the County. It was later sent to Arklow and then finally moved to Dunlavin where it was destroyed in 1966 by fire while being refuelled. If anyone has any further information ie, crew names  please contact us. All info would be appriciated. Some of the names we have got so far are: J Kelly, J Sheehan, Major Ellison, G Byrne, T Barry, J Kelly, B Newman, T Timmons, C Keogh, J Grimson, John & Jimmy Houlihan, John Davis.   Some more old Photos The first picture is a clipping from a newspaper showing the fire in Dunlavin that finished the career of the Merryweather.
