FIREFIGHTERS in Clydebank were given a well-deserved treat on Bonfire Night.
Dominos Clydebank provided staff at the Clydebank Community Fire Station with free pizza during their busy shifts.
The firefighters shared a photo on Twitter and thanked the pizza company.
They wrote: "Big thank you to @dominos Clydebank for keeping us fed tonight when we have been too busy to cook. Part of the local community looking out for each other.”

Earlier today, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service revealed that firefighters attended 665 incidents over the course of the night – and were attacked six times.
John Dickie, Assistant chief officer, said: “Any number of attacks on emergency service responders is completely unacceptable.
“This type of behaviour not only prevents our crews from bringing any emergency to a safe and swift conclusion, but it can impact on our emergency service colleagues including the police when they have to escort us at the scene.

"We would like to thank our partners and the clear majority of the law-abiding public for their support and we hope that they had a safe and enjoyable bonfire night.
“It is our busiest night of the year by far, and indeed it tops off one of our busiest four-week periods in the year.
“In addition to attending the numerous deliberate fires and bonfires, our firefighters continued to respond to the full range of emergencies we face day-to-day.
“Our frontline crews and operations control personnel and support staff have shown extreme dedication over this period and I would like to pay tribute to their professionalism, skill and hard work which enabled them to help protect communities.
“In addition, I must thank our partners and indeed communities across Scotland for their assistance and support.”
