Lothian and Borders Fire & Rescue Service
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.
