SFRS Muirburn Training

Ater 30 years as a retained firefighter and now a crew commander at Foyers, Iain Hepburn, a founding Director of Bright Spark Burning Techniques, has achieved a long-held dream of making sure that SFRS firefighters are trained in fighting wildfires with fire and other techniques in Scotland.

 The first group of firefighters completed their training in rural Perthshire yesterday, where Iain learnt as a boy from his father Ronnie in Glenshee,  and feedback was very positive from them.

 Iain said “I’ve advocated for a lifetime to use fire as a tool in fighting wildfires and this is a real dream come true.  This is what land managers and gamekeepers have traditionally used and it’s great to see SFRS including this approach”.
