In one area alone the number of blue light call outs dropped to just one compared to ten in the same time frame last year
The number of Unwanted Fire Alarm Signals has plummeted since the Fire Service introduced a rule change in July.
That was in the largely rural Armadale and Blackridge ward. Figures set to go before local area committees in Livingston later this week will reveal huge drops in the numbers of UFAS since the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service changed its automatic attendance policy. Until July SFRS attended every automatic fire alarm signal with a minimum of two appliances under blue light conditions. Often the alarms are maliciously activated, as in schools, but just as often the automated alarms are activated by burnt toast, hairsprays, deodorants or actual faults in the system.
Hospitals, residential care homes and sleeping risk premises will remain exempt and appliances will continue to be mobilised automatically to any fire alarm activations within these facilities.Figures set to go before the local area committees in Livingston will show a drop to 18 from 85 in South Livingston, and a drop to 5 from 47 in North Livingston over the same three month period of 2022.
