Marionville Fire Station Saved by Community

Marionville Fire Station in Edinburgh is a lifeline for Holyrood Park, responding to 129 fires in the past decade—more than half of all park incidents. Though once slated for closure, fierce community resistance, led by groups like Living Rent and fueled by real emergencies like the Arthur’s Seat blaze, has saved it for now. The fire service board will review the station’s future, but for now, it stays open while more analysis is done—though delays could mean up to six extra minutes for emergency response. The fight for permanent funding and security continues. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
