The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has been fined £54,000 after admitting health and safety breaches in connection with the death of one of its firefighters.

Ewan Williamson died while tackling a blaze in the basement of the former Balmoral Bar in Dalry Road, Edinburgh, on July 12 2009.

Fire Brigades Union (FBU) general secretary Matt Wrack condemned the length of the time it has taken to reach a conclusion.
