George MacDougall died after falling out of an open sided fire engine near Beauly in 1937.
Search for family of firefighter killed in an accident in 1937 Inverness, Scotland
Firefighters hope to track down the family of a fireman who died after falling from a fire engine in an incident almost 90 years ago.
George MacDougall was a member of an Inverness crew called out to a blaze at Beaufort Castle, near Beauly, on 1 June 1937.
The engine was open sided and Mr MacDougall fell when the vehicle was at Clachnaharry Bridge.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) is planning to install a plaque at Inverness Fire Station in his honour and hope to invite his relatives to the unveiling.
The FBU believes some of Mr MacDougall's family might be living in Edinburgh.
