Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether the initial fire crews that attended the Breadalbane Street fire in Edinburgh on 14 March 2024 were relieved from the incident in order to decontaminate, and, if it is the case that they were not relieved, what the duration of their attendance was.
Answer
The movement and management of fire crews at an operational incident is entirely a matter for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
The safety and wellbeing of firefighters is a priority for both the Scottish Government and for the fire service.
