Firefighters are to visit two north communities after elderly men were killed in separate house fires.
Events will be held in Kilmuir on Skye and in Golspie next month following the tragic deaths.
Service chiefs will offer reassurance and advice around home fire safety at the two events.
In Kilmuir, firefighters were called to a croft on Boxing Day last year and tragically discovered a man’s body inside three days later.
He has never been formally named but he has been identified locally as 87-year-old Jonathan MacLean, the croft’s owner.
Local firefighters and service bosses will attend a community engagement event at Kilmuir Hall between 8pm and 10pm on Tuesday, March 1.
And a similar event will be held at Golspie Public Swimming Pool between 10am and 2pm on Saturday, March 5.
It follows the death of a man in his 80s, named locally as Robert Forrest, in Duke Street in the village last weekend.
An investigation into the fire is still ongoing but a police spokeswoman said yesterday there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.
In both Skye and Golspie fire safety leaflets will be dropped through doors in the area encouraging people to sign up for home safety visits and urging neighbours to keep people safe from harm.
The two tragedies are part of a series of house fires which have claimed the lives of elderly people in the Highlands in the last few months.
Sybil Grape, 93, died in a fire in her Ullapool home on Saturday while in January two men were killed in incidents in their homes at Rothiemurchus and in Helmsdale.
The most recent deaths in Ullapool and Golspie, as well as another incident in Bo’ness near Falkirk on Tuesday, have sparked a national safety call by the fire service’s director of prevention and protection Assistant Chief Officer Robert Scott.
He said: “The loss of life through fire in the home is utterly devastating and everyone’s thoughts will be with the families and friends at this terrible time.
“Each of these tragedies will strike very deep at the heart of the communities and they have to resonate across Scotland – we all need to act now to protect people who could be vulnerable.”
Mr Scott added: “Firefighters see too many incidents where someone has been killed or seriously injured in a fire that need never have happened.
“If we can reach those who need our support then there are things we can do to help them stay safe – simple steps that will make fires less likely to start and slower to spread.”
