Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service have teams of line rescue personnel fully trained and equipped to the highest standards. Our line rescue capability allows us to carry out height rescues from places such as cliffs, high buildings and plant, wells, etc. Our line rescue teams operate from two fire stations within the Lothian and Borders area, Newcraighall and Tollcross. We have teams on all four watches at both bases to provide 24 hour cover.
The more typical localities at which we are required to carry out height rescues include Salisbury Crags, Roslin Glen and the Edinburgh Castle Rock.
Our line rescue teams also stand by to assist the police in potential suicide incidents, endeavouring to secure the safety of all involved, including the rescuers.
