Miniature fire engine collection in Carn
Carn fire station is the apt new home of Inishowen’s largest collection of model fire engines.
The quirky collection of 1:50 scale models was donated to Carn fire station officer Duncan McDaniels by collector Tony Quirke!
A former lorry driver, Mr Quirke, who lived in Carn for a number of years before relocating to Malin, has been collecting the miniature vehicles for more than thirty years.
When firefighters were working at a hydrant outside his home he called them in to view the collection and later decided to donate it so that it may be viewed by the local community.
