MAGGIE Chapman of the Scottish Greens has called on MSPs to support firefighters who are at risk due to inadequate station facilities.
Firefighters are more prone to developing cancer at a younger age due to exposure to intense heat, smoke and toxins, recent research has suggested.
Unions, such as the Fire Brigade Union (FBU), have said that health risks are linked to a lack of decontamination facilities at fire stations across Scotland which, if they were in place, may reduce the risk of illness.
