Overview
- After meeting Shelley Martin, the Lord Advocate said prosecutors expect the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to deliver its report soon and will review it before deciding on criminality.
- Shelley Martin’s lawyer said SFRS has been notified as a suspect and must cooperate, with officials indicating the report is expected in mid‑April.
- Shelley Martin called the three‑year wait for answers abhorrent and said the delay has deepened the strain on her and the couple’s twin sons.
- The family’s account says Barry Martin entered as part of a four‑person breathing‑apparatus team, fell down stairs within six minutes, suffered a rapid loss of air after equipment damage, and was found about 33 minutes after entry before dying on January 27, 2023.
- SFRS said the Jenners fire remains an active Police Scotland inquiry overseen by prosecutors and that it will keep cooperating, while a civil case filed in December 2025 against SFRS and contractor Chamic Industrial Services is still ongoing.
