🚨Scotland fire service is in crisis. SFRS continue to face 'managed decline' following 12 years of underfunding. The last 12 years has lead to: 📉1,361 firefighter posts CUT 💷£800 million shortfall

Meanwhile SFRS are consulting on more... ❌Station closures ❌Fire engines off the run Urgent investment is needed now.

Look beyond the party politics of it. It’s clear that our Scottish Fire & Rescue Service has been underfunded from the SNP Government. Having less firefighters & appliances on the run means longer response times, firefighters asked to do more & communities being less safe.

Did anyone get along to Lochgelly yesterday evening for the public consultation? How did it go? #CutsLeaveScars

Police officers are opting to buy their own kit or scramble around staffrooms for old uniforms rather than wear the poor-quality and ill-fitting kit provided. 1919magazine.co.uk/september2025/…

🔥 Fife Councillors have slammed the proposed cuts to Lochgelly's fire cover - we agree with them "you don’t protect people by reducing availability of appliances in high risk areas"👇🔥 Fire Brigades Union West Area Scotland FBU FBU East FBU Scotland - North Area Colin Brown Gus Sproul

🔥 Another “quiet” weekend for Balmossie… 👀 Both our crews were flat out tackling the large fire at Riverside Recycling Centre over this weekend. 🚨Yet SFRS claim we “don’t get called out much.” Close Balmossie & Dundee loses vital resilience when major incidents strike.

At least 100 police officers and staff have taken their own lives in three years, a Channel 4 News investigation has uncovered. channel4.com/news/exclusive…

🔥 Huge Fires in Fife, Glasgow & Dundee are tying up crews for DAYS. ❓When the next major incident hits, where do extra crews come from if station like Balmossie are downgraded or closed & firefighter numbers keep falling? Cuts= risk. Communities deserve better. #SaveBalmossie

166 firefighter posts temporarily cut in 2023, set to be made permanent, over 1250 ff posts cut since 2013. Proposals to close stations & reduce the number of pumps covering Scotland, downgrading of cover from Whole time to RDS. If it looks like cuts & sounds like cuts, it's cuts

There’s less FBU Scotland firefighters & appliances on the run but the SNP say that doesn’t mean cuts! By underfunding the fire service, the SNP are making the job more dangerous for firefighters & communities less safe. Stronger for Scotland? 2 decades of failing Scotland.

SFRS keen to let the public know that no decisions have been made on their Service Delivery Review. Seems to be at odds with this planning application for the current Cowcaddens station that "no decisions" have been made about.😕 glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scottish-…

🔥 Thanks to Richard Leonard MSP for making an excellent speech on Wednesday’s debate in Scottish Parliament in support of the FBU's campaign against cuts to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service - he is right these cuts are political choices and the Scottish Government cannot

And still they want to cut the fire service in Fife…

The SNP has been in charge of the NHS for 18 years. Nobody else is responsible for this disgraceful mess.

Just need more to speak up. Waldorf and I don't hold much hope though. #CutsCostLives

Waldorf and I are going, are you? Got my hush puppies polished and ready to go.
