Episode Details

Edinburgh’s Liberton fire station is getting a major upgrade — tearing down its aging RAAC-concrete building to replace it with a brand new, two-story facility, the first new station in the city in over 30 years and the first in Scotland since 2013. While construction takes 15-18 months, crews will temporarily operate from Alnwickhill Road with backup from neighboring stations, ensuring no emergency coverage gaps. The modern station will feature enhanced safety, decontamination, and community spaces, boosting firefighter readiness and response across Edinburgh and the east. This rebuild is part of a nationwide Scottish Fire and Rescue Service review impacting 30 stations, including new builds in Dalkeith and relocations like Musselburgh to Tranent — all aimed at smarter, more efficient emergency services.
