Museum of Fire in Edinburgh
I have walked past this building for years not knowing exactly what it was and yesterday decided to investigate it. I got a guided tour from a retired fireman who works there on a voluntary basis. The engines and equipment date back as far as 1804 and are maintained to a very high standard. My only problem was the lighting which was over bright and the lack of space to stand back and get a full shot in, however here they are.
A four man hand pump.
The telephone exchange.
Shining brass.
One of the oldest.
All together.
Breathing apperatus.
Rescue blanket, made of strong canvas.
The most modern one on show.
Have a look at the web site.
