Lodged by Marco Biagi SNP Lodged 16 Jan 2014 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service's ongoing facilities reorganisation; understands that this will see the number of fire control rooms reduced to three; notes that the Edinburgh fire control room is Scotland's second largest and second busiest; understands that the Edinburgh room's IT system has been recently modernised and that the facility has a large number of highly experienced staff who might seek alternative employment should it be closed; believes that the lack of a fire control room in Scotland’s capital could have risks for national resilience, and urges the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to safeguard the future of the Edinburgh fire control room at its meeting on 30 January 2014.
