Kinloch Rannoch Fire Station (Volunteer)

Kinloch Rannoch Fire Station is located at Bridgend with a view of Schiehallion to the south. It is the largest village in the Loch Rannoch area, an area of some 150 square miles with Pitlochry 20 miles to the east and Glencoe 20 miles to the west. Although remote and peaceful, with the nearby railway station at Rannoch Station you can be in Fort William in 1 hour and Glasgow in 2 hours.

The Fire Station is staffed by 9 personnel, this consists of 1 retained crew manager and 8 volunteer firefighters, who crew a Volvo water tender ladder. Volunteers within Tayside Fire and Rescue like their wholetime and retained colleagues have a dual role, in that they work within their communities to prevent fires and other emergencies happening in the first place and respond to emergencies when they do occur.

Volunteer firefighters meet every two weeks for training and maintenance on their appliance and equipment. At various times throughout the year personnel get involved in fund raising for the F.S.N.B.F and local good causes.

The Rannoch area is busy all year round, but especially in the summer months with tourists, hill walkers and water sports enthusiasts.
