The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were honoured at tonight’s Scottish Design Awards for their heroic efforts to save the majority of the Glasgow School of Art’s iconic Mackintosh building and its contents after a fire in late May.

Of the presentation, assistant chief officer Dave Boyle, the director of service for the West of Scotland, said:

“On behalf of SFRS I would like to say thank you for this recognition. It’s easy to overlook the huge challenge that faced our crews.”

The annual event which celebrates the best in Scottish design saw Glasgow-based design consultancy Suisse take home the Grand Prix for its work with the Scottish Maritime Museum and Freytag Anderson crowned Design Agency of the Year.
