On August 14, a fire appliance from Kilwinning was mobilised to Main Street in the town late to assist police in retrieving an inebriated man from the roof of a bookmakers shop.

The man refused to co-operate with Police and as such the Fire Service were asked to standby to assist as a precaution.

After approximately one hour at the scene the male was eventually talked down from the roof top by Police Officers.

The man was later detained.
