Highlands MSP urges better funding and gear for firefighters due to safety risks and inadequate wildfire training.
Highlands and Islands MSP Ariane Burgess is urging improved funding, training, and equipment for regional firefighters, citing inconsistent emergency preparedness and reports of inadequate wildfire training.
She highlighted issues with unsuitable all-terrain vehicles and poor-quality gear, including rapidly worn-out socks, and praised the Fire Brigades Union’s DECON campaign and its support for a decontamination unit in Inverness.
Burgess emphasized firefighters’ elevated cancer risk and called for fairer funding, including taxes on private jets and high-value homes, to ensure all crews are properly equipped and supported.
