## Resource

A fierce grass fire erupted on Arthur’s Seat, proving why closing Edinburgh’s Marionville fire station would be a dangerous gamble. Crews arrived within minutes, evacuating hundreds as flames raced across the hillside — a stark reminder of how vital local knowledge and rapid response are in rugged terrain. Despite the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service insisting the Marionville closure isn’t a cut — just a relocation — locals and the Fire Brigades Union are rallying against the move, citing new housing, key landmarks, and the critical need for crews who know the land. The fire burned through the night, with no casualties, but the incident has reignited debate over fire service funding and preparedness across Scotland.
