With new housing developments in the immediate area, with many more in progress/planning. The population of Yorkhill/Finneston/Anderston and Hillhead is growing at an extremely rapid rate. Cutting this vital resource will (almost inevitably) cost lives.

I worked here in late 1970's and early 80's. A busy station back then with 2 pumps,(fire engines), a TL,(turntable ladder), a special support vehicle, a mobile demonstration Unit,and an old retired demonstration appliance. Approximately 20 personnel on the watch, to ensure full manning of appliances. Pre 1975, it was also the station for the fireboat (St.Mungo), personnel. A vibrant station back then, with christmas party's, and open days.
Now in 2026, 1 pump, watch in single figure. Sad!

It is important to keep all our Fire Stations open especially now that we are having wild fires in the Country side and also fires in older buildings.

I worked at Yorkhill Station for 11 years, so I know just how important this station is. It's needed now more than ever, especially with all the new life risks & high-rise student accommodation that's been built in the area...

Lack of knowledge about the area will cost lives and why should the people pay for the s*** show that has led to such a decision being made?

I lived here years ago. It's a "central" position covering Yorkhill, Overnewton, Sandyford, Finnieston and, across the Kelvin, Partick, Dowanhil, Whiteinch (another closed station) and Scotstoun. There is another Station in Knightswood but nothing nearer.

Fire Stations are like insurance policies, it’s better to have cover and hoping you never have to use it than finding you need it and aren’t covered.

I was stationed here in the mid ninetys. As recent events in Glasgow show stations need to be maintained not closed

We need a station in Yorkhill as it's closure will add to response times

I was brought up in Kelvinhaugh Street, on the very place where the fire station is now. When the tenements were demolished and the fire station built, the community thought this was an excellent idea. A fire station that would serve as a quick response unit to the Kelvinhaugh, Partick, Anderston, Scotstoun areas.

With less fire stations it increases the risk to people's lives
