Glasgow Salvage Corps was a service in Glasgow, Scotland. It was founded after local fire insurance companies were concerned over losses in serious fires. They inspected buildings for fire safety, increasing premiums if any of their recommendations were not met, and attended fires alongside the Fire Brigade. It was founded in November 1873 and operated until the 1st of April 1984, when its functions were transferred to the Glasgow Fire Service. Similar salvage corps also operated in London and Liverpool.
On many occasions, they would be seen salvaging any items which would be of value to the company.
