Cuts to fire crews at the Faslane and Coulport nuclear submarine bases are “an accident waiting to happen”, according to a trade union. Capita has reduced numbers on the specialist fire safety crew at HM Naval Base Clyde in Argyll and Bute. The company provides fire response services for the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Unite, which represents workers on the bases, said the cuts will “seriously impair the abilities of the onsite fire crews to do their jobs properly”. It claims promises of investment in new technology to reduce fire risk have not been met, with no new vehicles or training provided.
