The emergency response to a fire in a former care home in West Dunbartonshire is praised.
A major fire at a former care home could have devastated the homes and lives of nearby residents, a council leader has said.
"This was a major fire and, had it not been for the swift actions of emergency services, could have devastated the homes and lives of the residents whose properties are in close proximity to the site," he said. Mr Ronney said the fire was a "shining example" of council staff going "above and beyond" for residents in West Dunbartonshire.
"We had staff there until the early hours of the morning and back on site again on Sunday to offer support.
