Protecting Scotland’s Fire Service - Amendment 1

  • Submitted by: Sharon Dowey, South Scotland, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 30 September 2025
  • Motion reference: S6M-19124.1
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 01 October 2025

As an amendment to motion S6M-19124 in the name of Katy Clark (Protecting Scotland’s Fire Service), insert at end "; recognises that the Scottish Government’s mismanagement of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has resulted in an £800 million operational backlog that has mostly resulted from the failure to bring stations up to modern standards, with 18 fire stations lacking running water; notes that the SFRS is coming under increasing strain thanks to the pressures presented by wildfires, and that the public are becoming more concerned about the fire hazards presented by battery storage sites, and calls on the Scottish Government to ensure that firefighters have the basic resources to do their job, to ensure that lives are not needlessly lost."
