Glasgow fire engines to be cut with some stations reduced to one appliance

A petition has been launched to stop the removal of one of the two appliances based at Govan fire station this September.

Maryhill, Cowcadden, Hamilton, and Greenock will also be impacted by the cuts as 10 fire engines across Scotland are set to be taken off the roads.

It is feared that the decommissioning of the appliances could result in the demand for the fire service in the area being increased by 50 per cent. The workload could also result in the response times in Renfrew, Yorkhill, Knightswood, and Pollok areas of Glasgow slowing time.
