A Cameron House night manager emailed bosses asking for overflowing ash bins to be emptied days before a bag containing fire remains was placed in a cupboard causing a blaze which engulfed the hotel and killed two guests.
Darren Robinson gave evidence on the first day of a Fatal Accident Inquiry into the deaths of Simon Midgley, 32, and his partner Richard Dyson, 38, who perished in the blaze at the five-star Loch Lomond resort on Monday, December 18, 2017.
The 36-year-old yesterday told the inquiry at Paisley Sheriff Court that he messaged two managers requesting the three bins, used to store ash from the hotel’s open fires, were cleared. The inquiry heard there was no response to the email.
