We had a meeting with NHS in Scotland as soon as we entered our contact said have you seen the news Yes we nodded Remember him being stuck in a loop during the meeting “and what about fire” he repeated over and over We signed up to review Scotlands hospital fire code

We then witnessed the plane going into the 2nd tower, horror of horrors Then south tower collapses Remember the gasp & horror of it all - time frozen as we all watched Then time sped up as everyone reported back to work wanting to do something, anything & imagining the worst

Remember being in the Station Bar for lunch with Glasgow Caledonian Uni fire team A popular bar for lunch, scot rail + emergency services from the three stations around the corner Then deafening silence as the news broke of the footage from the first tower - all aghast

Astonishing footage from #Stourbridge #Wildifires The wind driven effects would be carrying burning brands and embers for many miles Tree sap boils off and can cause timbers to explode Windows are unprotected and allows fire to spread to interior when they shatter

Astonishing footage - showing how fast Stourbridge #wildfire consumed homes Yes wind driven #wildfire can move faster than a human can run + burning brands carry for miles on the wind Flame front & hot gas just accelerates the fire development & little can be done

Def worth a listen A week before height of the 2022 #Wildfires - recommended to a critical infrastructure client to suspend #hotworks & address any issues The day of the peak we deployed a major incident response to an electrical failure setting fire on adjacent wildland

#Grenfell & the resultant #BuildingSafetyCrisis will haunt me until end of days Have met so many impacted by that faithful night & always on my mind. I also remember the fire sector’s leadership response & see those who profited from their legacy mistakes Rip 72 💚

#MajorFire #GlasgowCentral Thanks to @STVNews @RealMacKaySTV @stvsharon for having me on 6 O’clock News Tuesday 10 March 2026 Key question following first minister - why did the fire spread from the retail unit & result in full building loss.

This explosion has a very distinct smoke plume & signature to that of the 2020 #BeirutExplosion Is this another #ammoniumnitrate explosion?

I get a lot of enquires about EV-vehicles this clip is why I advise against them. The #fire and #explosion hazards have lethal potential Lithium-ion battery packs going into thermal runaway is challenging to suppress or extinguish The vehicle can be unstable for four weeks
