A Scots firefighter is urging people from the LGBT+ community to join the fire service after once worrying his sexuality would be a barrier.
Craig Carter, from Greenock, took on a full-time role at Springburn Fire Station in Glasgow in July 2020.
The 26-year-old, who identifies as gay, said he initially feared that he would be joining a macho environment at the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) - where less than one per cent of the workforce identifies as LGBT+.
