Ensure a Future for the Museum of Fire

The motion

That the Parliament notes reports that the building housing the Museum of Fire at Lauriston Place in Edinburgh may be deemed surplus to the requirements of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service; believes that this signifies a threat of closure; notes that the building was constructed in 1900 as the Central Fire Engine Station of Edinburgh Fire Brigade; believes that the building is of great historical significance to the city and the country as a whole; welcomes efforts by campaigners to persuade the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Museums Galleries Scotland to save the building for development as a world-class national Museum of Fire and as a tribute to James Braidwood, the first Firemaster of Edinburgh, and wishes these campaigners every success in securing a future for the Museum of Fire in Edinburgh.
