Cheapside Street Disaster

On Saturday the 28th of March the Band provided a lone piper as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service remembered those lives lost in the Cheapside Street Disaster.
Saturday marked the 55th anniversary of the Cheapside Street Disaster in which 19 Fire Service personnel died in a whisky bond explosion.
This incident on 28 March 1960 claimed the largest number of lives in the peacetime history of the UK Fire Service – 14 Glasgow firemen and five members of Glasgow Salvage Corps
The sacrifice of those 19 men was honoured by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service at a ceremony at the Fire Service Memorial in the Necropolis, overlooking Glasgow Cathedral. The ceremony was attended by fire service veterans, including Cheapside Street veterans, senior SFRS officers and a Guard of Honour.
During the ceremony, veterans, fire officers and other Fire Service representatives laid wreaths at the Fire Service Memorial.
