THE number of fire deaths in Glasgow more than doubled during the coronavirus crisis the most up to date figures have revealed. While house fires dropped in number, seven people were killed as a result of blazes in the city in the past 12 months - up from three the year before. Now fire chiefs have issued an urgent call for communities to help them reach and protect the most vulnerable people. Area Commander Roddie Keith is asking friends, relatives, carers and neighbours to let the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service know about anyone who might be more liable to be a victim of fire.
