Firefighters in Scotland had to deal with a blaze rather close to home last weekend – in their very own fire station.
The fire was discovered by a crew commander when he entered the community station in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull shortly after 6.30 pm last Friday. He alerted the operations support centre and firefighters then removed the station’s two appliances from the engine bay and used them to tackle the fire.
The fire was extinguished by around 9.00 pm and damage was restricted to a small area of the roof void and ceiling of a lecture room.
