Firefighters Who Worked Alongside Barry Martin Were Part Of His Final Journey Today

Firefighters who worked alongside Barry Martin were part of his final journey today, as his coffin was carried along the cortege route at his funeral in Edinburgh by a specially prepared Turntable Ladder.
The 38-year-old died on Friday, 27 January, as a result of serious injuries sustained earlier that week during a large-scale fire at the former Jenners building in Edinburgh.
