Fire service struggling amid ‘crisis’ of low morale and budget cuts
The blaze comes as the Fire Brigades Union published a report that found Scotland’s fire service is in “crisis” and blighted by low morale, underinvestment and budget cuts.
Entitled Firestorm, the report assessed the challenges faced by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) and said the situation is impacting severely on firefighters’ ability to respond effectively to serious and life-threatening incidents.
It identified serious concerns with the situation in the fire service, with firefighters raising issues around response times, poor training, poor equipment and health concerns about fire contaminants.
Glasgow & WestBudget cuts ’caused delays’ to fire crews tackling blaze to six homes
The fire, which tore through homes in East Kilbride, could have been ‘significantly reduced’ if budget cuts had not been implemented, the union has said.
One firefighter told the union that the SFRS had done “almost nothing” to combat the physical effects they experience as a result of fires.
The firefighter said: “The SFRS has done almost nothing (on contaminants) apart from provide wipes on appliances – that’s it.
“Patting yourself down with wipes after being exposed to a fire for hours just doesn’t cut it.”
The report’s release comes after the union claimed a major fire that caused extensive damage to six homes in East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, was exacerbated by cuts to fire and rescue services.
At the time of the incident, East Kilbride’s second appliance was unavailable as it was being used to transport staff to training near Edinburgh.
