There's fears inflation will drive up the cost of construction and have an impact on the funding for the facility.
The government is being urged to keep plans for a new midlands fire station a "top priority."
Offaly County Council was granted funding to appoint a contractor for the new facility in Clara in October, which will be based in Raheen.
