Over 100 metres of surplus oil spill booms were gifted to the registered charity, International Fire and Rescue Association (IFRA). IFRA is a Fife based charity, with the purpose of assisting emergency services in countries where poverty, war or civil unrest affect emergency response.
The equipment will help emergency services provide a response to pollution incidents, a capability many of them do not have. The Authority secured a local haulier, Northwards Ltd, to transport the booms free of charge to the charity collection point in Fife.
