New article published today in Lothian Life

I’m pleased to announce that an article I’ve written on the historic role of the Edinburgh Fire Brigade in making the world a safer place has been published today in Lothian Life. The article was inspired by a recent trip to Edinburgh where I visited the Edinburgh Museum of Fire on my partner’s behalf (he works in the fire service). While there I learned some very surprising facts.
