Firefighters gathered outside council headquarters in Perth to protest against plans to axe the local workforce and reduce the number of fire appliances - as bosses were warned “lives will be lost”.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) will make £36 million of cuts nationally over the next four years - £11 million worth in 2023/24.
Appliances will be removed from over 10 stations - including Perth Fire Station where the Aerial Rescue Pump will work at reduced capacity.
