 Central Scotland Fire and Rescue
Service can confirm that at 13:30 today (23rd January) a
fire engine attending an emergency call to Strathdevon Primary
School, Dollar was involved in a fatal collision outside
Tillicoultry.
The fire engine had a crew of five and as result of the collision one firefighter has died, one has been seriously injured, three others have also been injured. The most serious of the injured has been air lifted to the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow. Firefighters from another station were immediately mobilised to the scene and had the harrowing task of extricating casualties from the wreckage. The crews carried this out in a professional manner in extremely difficult conditions. Chief Fire Officer Steven Torrie says “Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service is a small Service and a close-knit community and we are all absolutely devastated by this loss and extremely concerned about our injured colleagues. The thoughts of every single member of this Service are with the firefighter’s family and the families of our injured colleagues, this is a tragic day for our Service. The Service is co-operating with the full investigation which is being conducted by Central Scotland Police road policing unit. |
