Was at gullane 1974, then straight to glasgow central. Didnt know what hit me on my very first shift. 5 turn outs, which was quiet for there. 1 death, 1 seriously injured demolition worker and a few bin fires. Great memories of gullane, even learned to iron my clothes lol. Im 67 years old and to this day i prefer ironing my clothes

I lived in a house next the fireman's field as a kid in the early 1970's where they had a football pitch for the trainee fireman and fireman trained with breathing apparatic e it was fun to watch all the action.

Back in the days before they dropped fitness training. Nice to see a featherweight pump in action. Hillman Imp engine I seem to remember! :-)
