The Fire Engines are a post punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland. They grew out of the Dirty Reds which had actor Tam Dean Burn as singer. Vocals and guitar were done by David Henderson, guitar by Murray Slade, bass by Graham Main, and on drums, Russell Burn. Henderson went on to form Win (band) in the mid 80s and is now working as The Nectarine no.9.
They were noted for Get Up And Use Me/ Everything's Roses (Codex 1980), and singles and LPs in 1981.
They recently released a limited edition collaboration single with Franz Ferdinand. The single contained a Franz Ferdinand cover of The Fire Engine's song 'Get Up and Use Me' with The Fire Engine's covering Franz Ferdinand's "Jacqueline."
