Notes
New unit opened by Lothian and Borders Fire Brigade 1994.
The Major Incident Unit went on the run in September 2004? replacing the Heavy Rescue Unit and using the same call sign.
The Major Incident Unit carries the USAR equipment and the Mass Decontamination Equipment is kept in two containers in the yard and if required the USAR is taken off and the MDU put on. The MDU is apparently moving to Tollcross. (Sept 2007)
USAR training is done at Newcraighall on rigs at the foot of the drill tower. (Sept 2007)
The first appliance is one of the two Line Rescue Units in the Brigade. (Sept 2007)
A third bay was built to accommodate the pump from Marionville when it closed by this plan has been shelved.
Newcraighall had a call sign of 36 in Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service, this was changed to K04, the new National Call Sign on 3/5/2017.
