The mother of a man who died in the fatal Cameron House Hotel fire has shared her heartbreak for the victims and families of the New County Hotel blaze in Perth.
Heads of health and safety charity Scottish Hazards - which aided her campaign for answers over the 2017 blaze at Loch Lomond - added they are “devastated” for those most deeply affected by the tragic events at County Place.

Donna’s dog Joey, a three year-old King Charles spaniel, also died. Jane Midgley lost her 32-year-old son Simon and his partner Richard Dyson, 38, in the Cameron House tragedy and said her “heart breaks” for the victims of the Perth blaze.
“It brought it all back again,” she added.
It comes after the Scottish Courts published a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) report into the Cameron House fire, which took place on December 18, 2017, with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service accepting the recommendations highlighted.

A FAI is an official inquiry into the circumstances of an unexpected death. These inquiries are usually held in the sheriff court, and offer details to the public on any deaths whose causes give rise to reasonable suspicion.
Speaking of the Cameron House FAI and the New County Hotel fire, Scottish Hazards’ trustee Louise Adamson said: “Throughout this gruelling process, they’ve shown strength beyond measure, driven by the need to stop this
