Maryhill, Cowcaddens and Govan Community Fire Stations are at the centre of the plan.
There are “temporary” plans to withdraw three appliances from Maryhill, Cowcaddens and Govan Community Fire Stations from September. Politicians have expressed concerns about the move over safety, with one Govan councillor branding it “dangerous.”
Mr Murdoch also said the Springburn Community Fire Station will have its “combined height vehicle replaced with a dedicated environmentally friendly fire appliance.” There is a bid to sell the Scottish Fire & Rescue site at Cowcaddens and there is a possibility of a new community fire station at Maitland Street and Stewart Street subject to consultation.
City centre councillor Phillip Braat, Labour, said: “The withdrawal of a fire appliance from Cowcaddens is of grave concern. It is the main station servicing the city centre area and it is strange and worrying decision to make.”
