A special plaque commemorating the seven firefighters who lost their lives in a Glasgow fire 50 years ago this month is set to be unveiled.
The red plaque will pay tribute to firefighters Andrew Quinn, Alistair Crofts, Iain Bermingham, Allan Finlay, William Hooper, Duncan McMillan, and James Rook who were tragically killed during the blaze at the Sher Brothers warehouse in Kilbirnie Street on August 25, 1972.
The brave men had been attempting to rescue fellow firefighter Rook, who was trapped, when they encountered a massive flashover of extreme heat, resulting in their deaths. The ceiling also collapsed.
