Old Dingwall Fire Station, Tulloch Street.                                                                      23/8/2006.

This building was Dingwall fire station until July 1971.
This was a single storey flat roofed building, the flat roof being inline with the top of the Dryburgh Cycles sign. The office window is the original office window. The plate glass window on the left demarcates the door of the bay for the pump escape (GSTI49) and plate glass window on the right and the shop door demarcates the door of the bay for the water tender (FJS26). At that time, there was no door off the street but a door in the door of the right hand appliance room door (not unlike is shown in the picture). The two appliance room doors were sliding doors, with the right hand door being slide to the right to let the water tender out, then both doors were slid over to the right to let the pump escape out.
