Episode Details

Edinburgh’s getting its first new fire station in over 30 years — tearing down the old Liberton station to rebuild a modern, safer facility designed for faster emergency response across the city and east Scotland. The 15-18 month project will temporarily relocate crews to Alnwickhill Road, with backup from neighboring stations ensuring no drop in service. This isn’t just a renovation — it’s part of a nationwide effort to fix aging stations plagued by unsafe RAAC concrete, with upgrades already underway in Galashiels and more coming to Livingston and Dalkeith. The new station will feature state-of-the-art facilities for firefighters, including improved decontamination, welfare areas, and community spaces — all aimed at boosting safety, efficiency, and service for everyone.
