SITE FOR GLENROTHES FIRE STATION CHOSEN 

The first step in providing Glenrothes with a fire station was taken yesterday when Fife Fire Area Joint Committee, meeting in Kirkcaldy, agreed to acquire a site at the junction of Rothes Road and the main Glernrothes – Leslie Road.
It was also agreed to seek permission from the Secretary of State for Scotland to proceed with plans for building the station – a three bay, wholetime establishment costing about £65,000. Construction is not likely to start for two or three years. When the new station opens the part time one at Markinch will close down.
