In the Integrated Risk Management Plan 2005/2010 Musselburgh Fire Station will be closed and relocated to the Wallyford area where the new station will have one Pump and one Incident Support Unit, relocated from Marionville when it closes. When the new station at Wallyford opens Tranent will close as it will no longer be required. This will be a Community Fire Station. (May 2006)

In a partnership with HMCG the Fisherrow Coast Guard Rescue Team garage their vehicle at Mussleburgh Fire Station.(2008 L&B Performance Plan, Page 27) I don't know when it first moved there but it was still there 11/11/2021.

Musselburgh had a call sign of 53 in Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service, this was changed to J02, the new National Call Sign on 3/5/2017.
