Investigations are continuing into what caused a fire engine to crash, killing one of its crew.
John Noble died after the appliance carrying four other firefighters left the road and smashed into a tree.
The vehicle was on its way to an emergency call at a Clackmannanshire school when the accident happened.
The alert turned out to be a false alarm after a smoke detector went off. Mr Noble, 46, from Alloa, had been in the service for more than 20 years.
Tributes have poured in for the popular firefighter, who leaves a wife and two children.
An investigation is under way into the accident, which happened near Tillicoultry at about 1330 GMT on Wednesday.
It is being led by Central Scotland Police's road policing unit, with the co-operation of Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service.
"Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service is a small service and a close-knit community and we are all absolutely devastated by this loss."
Another firefighter, 28-year-old Alan Robertson, who was travelling as a passenger in the vehicle, was seriously injured in the crash.
He was airlifted to Glasgow's Southern General where his condition remains serious but stable.
The three other crew, all from the brigade's Blue Watch, suffered minor injuries and were treated at Stirling Royal Infirmary. Two have since been released.
The Alloa-based engine was called to Strathdevon Primary School in Dollar after a smoke alarm activated.
Firefighters from another station were sent to the scene of the crash and had the harrowing task of removing casualties from the wreckage.
'Injured colleagues'
Mr Noble, who was a front-seat passenger when the engine crashed, had recently been on a course in America where he had received training on how to respond to terrorist attacks.
He was one of a handful of firefighters in the UK specially selected to attend the urban search and rescue course in Texas.
Mr Noble had also taught rescue workers in Russia how to deal with road accidents.
An online book of condolence has been opened by Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service which has attracted contributions from across the world.
The brigade has also opened a separate book in tribute to Mr Noble at Alloa fire station.
Chief Fire Officer Steven Torrie said: "Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service is a small service and a close-knit community and we are all absolutely devastated by this loss and extremely concerned about our injured colleagues.
"The thoughts of every single member of this service are with the firefighter's family and the families of our injured colleagues."
Kenny Ross, secretary of the Scottish Fire Brigades Union, added: "It is part and parcel of the job that we do that we recognise the dangerous aspects of it.
"That danger starts the moment we leave the station. This tragedy has highlighted that.
"Here we have a firefighter going to help his local community who sadly won't be going back to his own family."
Central Scotland Police is appealing for witnesses who saw the fire engine around the time of the crash.
The force also wants to interview any drivers travelling on the east side of Tillicoultry on the A91 on Wednesday afternoon to obtain information about the road and weather conditions.
The road was closed for seven hours while accident investigators examined the scene.
