1949/50 Approved or under
construction, improvements to existing doorway and floor of appliance room at
Brechin fire station.
Extension to appliance room to house new Pump Escape completed November 1956.
1958/59 The acquisition of additional accommodation at Brechin referred to in my
last Report and the fitting out of an ablution block has now been completed. The
result is very satisfactory.
1963 The existing fire station at Brechin is on rented premises and is much
below the standard in modern retained fire station development. Bearing in mind
the future needs of the City and Royal Burgh, when it was known that a site in
Commerce Street was available, negotiations towards purchase were instituted and
finally concluded at a price agreed by the District Valuer. The provision of a
new fire station in Bechin will now therefore take its place on our programme of
future developments.
1963 The Sub Officers who were Officers in Charge of Arbroath, Montrose, Brechin and Forfar were upgraded to the rank of Station Officers as provided for in the Brigade Administration Scheme.
Extension to appliance room to house new Pump Escape completed November 1956.
