Yesterday evening we welcomed Watch Commander Craig Watters and his watch from (Dumbarton Fire Station) Scottish Fire And Rescue Service, down to the boat for a familiarisation session.

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to showcase our capabilities, equipment, and response on Loch Lomond, while strengthening joint working and understanding between teams.

We also spent time identifying procedures to load their equipment on the boat when needed to respond to a fire on any of the Islands on Loch Lomond, and also confirming best RV points across both the east and west of the loch.

Finishing the visit with a run out on the boat to go through safety on the water and man overboard procedures.
