Firefighters in Stirling and across Scotland are set to head out on strike after rejecting a pay deal.
The action has been launched following a UK-wide ballot from the Fire Brigades’ Union saw 88 per cent back the move on a turnout of 73 per cent.
The industrial action would be the first in the fire service since 2003, with the FBU membership rebuffing a five per cent pay offer in November - with the union labelling the move as a response of “more than a decade of real terms pay cuts”.
