Lothian Information Update

admin — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 01:54:46 +0000

Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service provides a broad and comprehensive safety service to over 890,000 people living and working within a 2,500 square mile area of the south east of Scotland
This service includes community safety services such as safety checks in the home and advice on fire safety at work, as well as fire safety inspections for businesses.
We also provide the more visible emergency services such as firefighting and rescues from traffic accidents, which most people will know us for.
Our fire crews also carry out rescues from water, especially during the winter when ponds and lakes are frozen and when heavy rain causes flooding.
Arthur’s Seat and the cliffs at North Berwick also present their own challenge every time the Service’s line rescue team is called out to pluck people to safety.

We also provide various levels of training courses. These range from teaching basic fire safety awareness in the workplace to specialist emergency response and firefighting teams.

Our service is delivered through our 36 local fire stations within the areas of five Councils. They are the City of Edinburgh, West Lothian, East Lothian, Midlothian and the Scottish Borders. Our administrative Headquarters are in the heart of Edinburgh.

Central Information Update

admin — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 01:53:02 +0000

As our name implies we lie in the centre of Scotland, bounded on all sides by the other Scottish Services with the exception of Grampian to the north and Dumfries & Galloway to the south.
Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service covers three council areas: Clackmannanshire, Stirling and Falkirk. The region is diverse, spanning sparsely populated and remote rural areas in Stirling as well as densely populated Central Belt settlements in and around the towns of Stirling, Falkirk and Grangemouth.
The 284,379 population is some 5.5% of Scotland’s people, with a higher than average population density of 108 persons per sq km against a Scottish average of 65 persons per sq km.
The FRA’s net revenue expenditure in 2005/06 was £13.7 million, with supporting capital expenditure of £1.8 million. As at 31 March 2006, the FRA employed 243 wholetime firefighters, 161 retained firefighters, 17 Control Room staff, and 41 non-uniformed staff. Further support is contributed by 10 volunteer firefighters.

Mission Statement

Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service exists to help create safer communities, to provide an effective emergency service and to protect local economic, environmental and community interests.
