Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service currently have the capability to deal with incidents at Hound Point oil and gas pumping installation in the Firth of Forth. Teams of specially trained and suitably equipped personnel from our fire stations at Crewe Toll, Mcdonald Road and South Queensferry deal with incidents at this installation.
We are currently developing procedures for a sea borne approach to vessels in distress within the Forth estuary.
We have also expressed an interest, along with another fourteen of the UK’s thirty-nine coastal Fire and Rescue Services, in forming part of a national response for helicopter approaches to vessels in distress within the UK’s territorial waters.
