The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Fire Board have put up for sale on the open market the last complete Victorian Fire Station, the Central Fire Brigade Station at Lauriston Place (Lauriston) which is home to the Museum of Fire. Hundreds of Property Developers have visited the Museum to see how many flats or hotel rooms they can squeeze into the building. The many requests by Friends of the Museum to the Scottish Government to save Lauriston from the developers, so that it can remain as the home of the Museum of Fire, have been dismissed with the response "It is a matter for the Fire Board." But the Fire Board are appointed by the Scottish Government. The Fire Board are tasked with "Ensuring the Scottish Governments PRIORITIES are implemented." Please help to make saving Lauriston from the developers a PRIORITY of the Scottish Government by sending a priority email to FirstMinister@gov.scot to suspend the sale of Lauriston even if the First Minister has to Fire the Fire Board and appoint a new Fire Board which will save the home of the Museum by transferring it to a more appropriate Government Department. You may also wish to email City of Edinburgh Council Leader Andrew Burns (andrew.burns@edinburgh.gov.uk) to the effect that planning permission should not be granted to change the use from the Museum of Fire. Copies of your emails may be copied to museumoffireedin@gmail.com With thanks, Friends of the Museum of Fire.
