Department of Defence HQ, Piercetown, Newbridge, County Kildare.
The fire service in the Curragh Camp is one of a number of areas under review.
A spokesperson for the Department of Defence told the Leinster Leader: "As part of the implementation of the Working Time Directive (WTD) and following consultation with the Representative Associations, Óglaigh na hÉireann is reviewing all of our current operational outputs.
"The Fire Service in the Curragh Camp is one of a number of areas under review."
The spokesperson continued: "Once the review is complete recommendations will be presented to the Minister for Defence.
"At this point no decision has been made regarding the continued operation of the Fire Service in the Curragh Camp."
Speaking on Kildare FM radio's Kildare Today programme earlier today, Independent TD Dr Cathal Berry, who previously served in the Army Ranger Wing, said that he would not be in favour of closing the station.
He also said that the main reason the station is under review is the staff crisis in the Defence Forces.
Sinn Féin TD Réada Cronin has also urged the Defence Forces not to close the station.
Ms Cronin, who is her party's spokesperson for defence matters, said that she has written to An Tánaiste asking him 'to examine, urgently, any mooted closure of the fire station at the Curragh Camp.'
She said a designated fire service at the camp is 'essential, given it is already so much relied on and that there are munitions on site.'
Ms Cronin elaborated: "To deprive the Curragh Camp of its fire service because of a lack of Defence-Force personnel would be retrograde and reckless.
"Staff at the Curragh must have the physical and psychological security of an emergency service as they, themselves, work diligently and loyally in the service of the State."
She continued: "The current poor working conditions of staff in the fire service reflect the wider personnel crisis across the Defence Forces.
"Our Defence Forces have been neglected and have been deprived of government money, respect and attention... this must change and urgently.
"I have asked the Tánaiste to make sure the fire station at the Curragh Camp remains open and that he address the wider issues of pay, conditions and recruitment in our Defence Forces with equal urgency," she concluded.
In addition, Fianna Fáil Senator Fiona O'Loughlin also echoed the sentiments of Dr Berry TD and Ms Cronin TD.
Senator O'Loughlin said: "The fire station at the Curragh is an important service, and the 160 callouts a year are testament to that.
"I spoke to my party Leader, the Minister for Defence, Micheál Martin, about the potential closure of the service.
"It is important to note that the recommendation came from the Defence Forces themselves, not from Government, however, I made the case strongly to the Tánaiste that this be retained."
She continued: "There are issues in terms of the work time directive, and we are all aware of the recruitment and retention issues within the Defence Forces, but I want to see these issues worked through.
"The fire service has been in existence for 120 years, and we need to support it."
"I can confirm that no final decision has been made in terms of the closure, and I have lobbied and will continue to lobby the Minister and the Department to retain this service," the Senator concluded.
