THE family of a firefighter killed in the line of duty more than three years ago is suing his bosses for £700,000, and wants a jury to hear the case.
Ewan Williamson's mother and sisters claim his watch manager failed to exercise reasonable care for his safety, alleging several errors as firefighters tackled a pub blaze.
Mr Williamson was confused and suffering from heat exhaustion, having been given about 10 minutes to recover before being asked to re-enter the building, they claim.
