FBU Scotland is the democratic & professional voice of firefighters, in all roles and on all duty systems.
🔥The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is proposing major changes to fire stations that could see station closures and reduced fire cover. Affected areas include stations in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Inverclyde, Fife, Dundee, Perth, the Borders and a number of others.🔥…

🔥 Myself and @LloydAMelville met this week with the SFRS to raise concerns regarding Balmossie Fire Station. 🏘️ We were clear about the implications either option would have for communities in South Angus. 👉 More: graemedey.info/raising-balmos…

Our Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is being hollowed out because of Scottish Government budget cuts. Less firefighters and less appliances mean people and communities will be less safe. Firefighters at @FBUScotland need adequate government funding in order to do their jobs.
SFRS have launched a consultation with proposals to close fire stations, change fire cover, and remove appliances. Following the removal of 166 firefighter roles in 2023, these additional cuts threaten to leave an already stretched service without adequate staff and resources…

Solidarity with Brian Leishman MP following this disgraceful move by Starmer. Since being elected Brian has been a strong voice in support of the FBU, firefighters and the need for investment. @FBUScotland actionnetwork.org/petitions/rein…
.@FBUScotland were at Westminster this week calling for sustained investment in our fire and rescue services. I met with reps from Lanarkshire, to stand against cuts that put lives at risk such as fewer firefighters, slower response times and the withdrawal of appliances.
🔥Thanks to @AlexRowleyFife for putting down a parliamentary motion opposing the proposed cuts to Lochgelly fire cover. Please ask your MSP to support this motion 🚒🔥@fbunational @FbuEast @FBUScotNorth @WestScotlandFBU @UnityConsults @scotgov @FBU_Scotland_EC
