A night porter who caused a blaze which killed two hotel guests has told an inquiry he “didn’t realise” putting ash into a plastic bag was dangerous.
Christopher O’Malley gave evidence at a Fatal Accident Inquiry into the deaths of Simon Midgley, 32, and Richard Dyson at Cameron House Hotel in December 2017.
Last year, the 37-year-old, of Renton, admitted failing to take reasonable care for the health and safety of others after emptying ash from a fireplace into a plastic bag and then putting it in a cupboard of kindling and newspapers at the five-star Loch Lomond resort.
