FBU Scotland to deliver fire engine to Palestine
FBU Scotland will deliver yet another fire engine to their comrades in Palestine later this year, the union announced today.
The firefighters’ union has worked alongside the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service to secure the donation of a surplus fire engine — complete with all modern kit — the third since 2011.
The union’s actions builds on a long history of support for their comrades at the Palestinian Fire & Rescue Service, from exchange visits and training to the supply of the latest firefighting and lifesaving equipment.
