Barry Martin, 38, from Fife, died on January 27 after sustaining serious injuries while fighting the fire at the building on Edinburgh’s Princes Street
The family of a firefighter who died tackling the blaze at the former Jenners department store have said he was a “proud” man.
She said: “Barry was motivated, proud, and driven to be the best he could be, for himself, for his family, for his colleagues, and for the community and wider public. Being there for people, during their time of greatest need, meant everything to him in his career.” Earlier this week, firefighters across Scotland held a minute’s silence for Mr Martin. He was based at the McDonald Road Community Fire Station in Edinburgh and was part of the Blue Watch.
“Barry was a much-loved husband, father, son and friend to many. His Blue Watch colleagues and the wider service will ensure that Barry’s selfless duty will never be forgotten.”
