Belshotmuir Bus Depot Fire - 1/76 SFRS, SAS & Strathclyde Police models.

            The two pump ladders and Aerial Rescue Pump at locus. 

With Belshotmuir closed to normal bus modelling business pending the completion of a larger, improved diorama of the same name, over the past few days I have taken to modelling more of my emergency service vehicles. A member of one of the Facebook groups where I shared those pictures requested to see my Fire & Rescue models, which brought about this shoot. 

Story - 

This afternoon a 999 call alerted Scottish Fire & Rescue Service to a report of smoke escaping from the first floor window of the closed down bus depot in Belshotmuir. A pump ladder and Aerial Rescue Pump/Aerial Ladder Platform were mobilised. On arrival thick smoke was noted to be issuing from both the first floor window and roof space, with flames noted in the window. A request was made to Fire Control to make pumps three. Police were also requested to enable road closures, with Fire Control also contacting Ambulance Control to notify them. With SAS’s Special Operations Response Team (SORT) already being committed to a call, ACC dispatched one AEU to attend for Firefighter welfare. The fire was brought under control and a structural assessment will take place. 

Reality - 
One additional standard “pedestrian” figure was painted into Firefighter uniform (including a SCBA tank) and placed into the Aerial basket. 
With no flashing LED’s etc to hand, a circle of clear plastic was cut from packaging and painted orange, before being placed over the end of a torch with flash ability, the torch then being placed inside the building. 
The smoke is a mixture of both painted and unpainted cotton wool.
