Emergency Services Disasters: 1972 Kilbirnie Street Fire

The Kilbirnie Street fire, on Friday 25 August 1972, was a warehouse fire in the Port Eglinton area, on the south side of Glasgow, Scotland, which killed seven Glasgow Fire Service firemen in a flashover while they were trying to rescue a trapped colleague. What started as a routine industrial premises fire resulted in one of the highest losses of life for the UK Fire Service at a single incident in peacetime.

Emergency Services Disasters, inspired by Allec Joshua Ibay's Air Disasters series on TH-cam, takes a look at the fires, the shootings, the rescues, the line-of-duty-deaths, and other incidents that shaped the fire service, the police service, and the ambulance service across the whole world. This series is not for the faint of heart, as it contains depictions of death and injury.
