The East Kilbride son of a firefighter killed in a massive warehouse blaze 50 years ago has said his dad was killed due to the toss of a coin.
Derek Hooper’s father William and six colleagues died while tackling a fire at Glasgow’s Kilbirnie Street on August 25, 1972.
The team had gone in to rescue their trapped colleague, James Rook, when the fire ignited the hardwood ceilings on the first floor, leading to a huge 'flash over', killing them all.
