SCOTLAND’S longest-serving firefighter has retired after an incredible career spanning 55 years of service.
Latterly, Farries – who grew up in Hawick before moving to Edinburgh in 1968 - worked as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s heritage officer and has been integral in the opening of the new Museum of Scottish Fire Heritage in Edinburgh, where he will continue as a volunteer. The SFRS held a ceremony in Farries' honour at the recently-opened museum, where he was presented with his retiral certificate by Chief Officer Ross Haggart in front of family, friends and colleagues past and present.
A personal tribute was also paid by Farries' son, also David, who followed his father into service and is currently the assistant chief officer and director of service delivery with SFRS.
