In 1703, after a series of devastating fires in Edinburgh’s Old Town the city fathers were forced to act.

What followed was an Edinburgh Act of the Scottish Parliament for, “Quenching of Fires and Rules to be Observed by the Inhabitants Thereanent.” It began the slow process of building Edinburgh’s fire service into the first municipal brigade in Britain.

The new fire regulsations allowed 12 newly appointed firemasters to recruit a number of men on an auxiliary basis. With little fire training and armed with the most rudimentary equipment they endeavoured to fight the fires that blighted the lives of those that lived in the tightly packed lands (high tenements) and the squalid closes of Scotland’s capital city.
