Fire crews called to Cambuslang tower blocks 70 times in past two years over false alarms

Firefighters have been called to attend a group of tower blocks over 70 times in the past two years - for what has turned out to be false alarms.

The shock figures were discovered by a concerned Cambuslang resident, who has witnessed the continual 'huge responses' by local fire crews to the blocks in recent years.

The call outs concerned three blocks - Sherry Heights, Rosebank Tower and Standford Heights - on Cambuslang Main Street. In 2020 the blocks combined for 27 false alarms, followed by 31 in 2021 and a further 13 call outs between January and June this year.
