On 12 July 2009 at 00.38hrs Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service received a call to a fire in a public bar at 178 Dalry Road, Edinburgh. 

The original seat of the fire was within the basement, in a room used as an office, with fire and smoke spreading upwards towards the flatted properties above. The initial firefighting tactical plan prioritised the rescue of residents from those flats and locating and extinguishing of the fire. 

During the firefighting operations firefighter Ewan Williamson, while attempting to exit the ground floor, entered a room off the public bar area and became trapped due to the door becoming jammed.
