Fire alarm testing:

 

In addition to the weekly fire alarm test at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium at 9.30am on a Friday morning, our fire alarm engineers are engaged in quarterly maintenance this week and there is a possibility the sounders may be activated as part of that work.  Maintenance is scheduled from 8am-5pm from today until Friday (29 September) and the engineers are being requested to minimise any activation of the sounders during this work.
