We recently hosted Banavie Primary School nursery for a visit to see our fire appliances and have some fun on their day trip to Fort William after book bugs 🚒
You’re very welcome and we look forward to seeing you again 😃
🔥 TRAINING SCENARIO 🔥
Our crews successfully rescued a casualty utilising new smoke hood equipment after navigating through a smoke-filled building putting their BA skills to the test supported by other firefighters!
Thermal imaging cameras help us to see through the smoke
We carry smoke hoods on our fire appliances allowing crews to deploy these as a critical tool for casualty rescue enabling us to protect the wearer from harmful products in the air when moving them from “clean air” through smoke filled buildings to safety

If you regularly use emollients, it’s important not to sit or dry fabrics close to heaters and fireplaces. Fabrics even if washed will have flammable residue on them.

Even in high summer, all waters around Scotland are cold enough to induce cold water shock. Cold water can affect your ability to swim & self-rescue.
