Notes

 

 

Due to financial problems and a falling roll the Board of Governors decided to close the school in 2002 and the machine was sold (as one of the school’s assets) to a caravan park.

The school was not allowed to attend any fires except grass ones as they were too young and not insured. The first attendance for the school is Kinloch Rannoch Volunteer un it, although I am led to believe that on occasion when the volunteers arrived at a chimney fire at the school, the school brigade was already there putting a jet into the air and trying to get it to fall back down the chimney to extinguish the fire. The school apparently only had the School Brigade for their Duke of Edinburgh’s award.

Tayside Fire Brigade used to send an officer up one Tuesday afternoon a month to train them (he would stay and do the Volunteer training that night) and the boys got training from a teacher every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
