Update following Wednesdays Scottish Parliament debate that saw the Minister for Victims & Community Safety bring a wrecking amendment to a motion that sought to ensure public & firefighter safety. Shame on those MSPs that put party before constituents.

Me and Davey Strachan spoke to STV last week about the proposed closure of Marionville Fire station in Edinburgh.
The campaign to Save the Ville has cross party support and the local community is right behind it.
The public consultation is underway, please have your say.
🔥FBU Scottish Regional Chair, Gus Sproul, and Branch Sec for Marionville fire station, Davey Strachan, highlighting to STV News, FBU concerns that the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service proposal to close Marionville Fire Station will increase response times potentially by 4-6 minutes which is a significant increase in public risk👇🚒🔥@fbunational @FbuEast @FBUScotNorth @WestScotlandFBU @FBU_Scotland_EC @AngusSproul @UnityConsults @scotgov @fire_scot @JohnSwinney

The FBU has consistently sounded the alarm with the Minister & Scot Gov. Fewer firefighters serving Scotland will result in higher risks. A 450% increase in fire deaths in the Ministers constituency should be all the evidence required to start listening. ayradvertiser.com/news/25422…

🔥FBU Scotland officials at Westminster today, calling on MPs to demand the Westminster government commit to sustained investment in the UK fire and rescue service. Good to meet with Scottish MPs to ensure the interests of Scottish members are heard at a UK level. Every MP we met opposes reductions to firefighter numbers, withdrawal of fire appliances, increased response times, and even deeper cuts to firefighter numbers in Scotland🔥🚒 @fbunational @FBU_Scotland_EC @FbuEast @WestScotlandFBU @FBUScotNorth @scotgov @UnityConsults @JohnSwinney

Today we remember our brother, firefighter, Ewan Williamson. Ewan tragically died in the line of duty fighting a fire at the Balmoral Bar in Edinburgh on 12 July 2009.
Our thoughts are with Ewan's mum Linda, sisters Rachel and Rebecca and all those that knew and worked with Ewan. He will always be in our thoughts and never forgotten. #WeRemember @fbunational @FBUScotNorth @FbuEast @WestScotlandFBU @FBU_Scotland_EC @AngusSproul

🔥Stop the axe falling on Scotland's Firefighters🔥12 years of underfunding of the @fire_scot has resulted in 1250 firefighter jobs being cut, now even more could be axed. Don't let this happen!

Thanks to @pauline4glasgow for her support for the FBU Scotland campaign against cuts to Glasgow's fire cover✊@fbunational @FBUScotNorth @FbuEast @FBU_Scotland_EC @UnityConsults
Another week spent doing my favourite thing as an FBU representative…. Delivering training courses to our structures. The FBU education program is wonderful and I’m incredibly lucky to be invited to chair some of it ✊🏽
Thank you also to SFRS Head of Safety & Assurance, Jim Holden for coming along to discuss the importance of partnership working and how we do things in Scotland!
Go get ‘em safety reps!!
Busy few weeks at FBU Scotland regional offices in Glasgow, with another group of branch H&S reps learning the basics around their legal rights and responsibilities, as well as the process for carrying out premise H&S inspections. Thanks again to the St Enoch’s centre for accommodating their mock inspections and TUC tutor, Mike Kidd, for delivering the course. That’s another 10 FBU safety reps working to improve the H&S of our members across Scotland👇@fbunational @FbuEast @WestScotlandFBU @FBUScotNorth

Congratulations to Adam Taylor on being elected as the new National Officer for the Fire Brigades Union!
A very well - and most importantly - fairly run campaign.
Thank you to everyone who participated and showed me support throughout, it has been enormously appreciated.
No matter who you backed, please now join me in putting all of that support behind Adam in his new role. We must help him to deliver on his pledges for the membership, and hold him accountable if he doesn’t.
Well done Adam!
Thanks again
Scott
