Tayside Fire & Rescue Board Meeting

On Monday morning I attended a meeting of Tayside Fire and Rescue Board.  The main focus of the meeting was looking at how we move towards the national fire and rescue service.  It is important that Tayside Fire and Rescue keeps its eye on the ball in the run up to the new national Fire and Rescue service and ensures that people in Tayside continue to receive an excellent service from Tayside Fire and Rescue Service.

One of the items reported was on the campaign supported by Tayside Fire & Rescue on the danger of fires in wheelie bins particularly in tenemental areas.  I raised some issues about this; namely that it is really important that Tayside Fire & Rescue and other partners deal with this issue.  I raised my concerns that it is important that this campaign is aimed at students and at landlords.  It is important that landlords take their responsibilities seriously.
