Just 20 per cent of South Ayrshire fire and rescue call outs related to fires, a new report has revealed.
False alarms accounted for more than 60 per cent of Scottish Fire and Rescue callouts in the area between April and December 2022 – an increase of 10 per cent on the previous year.
On Wednesday, South Ayrshire Council’s Partnership Panel will hear that just 0.84 percent of these false alarms were recorded as malicious.
