How to get access to bool from one script to another with touch input?

Button script quiet basic:

 public bool wepFired = false;

 void OnTouchDown()
 {
     mat.color = selectedColour;
     wepFired = true;
 }

Player script which handle if the button being pressed:

     FireButton wepScript = GetComponent<FireButton>();
     gameObject.GetComponent<FireButton>().wepFired;

     if(wepFired == true)
     {
         wepFiredwithButton = true;
     }
     else
     {
         wepFiredwithButton = false;
     }
     
     if ( wepFiredwithButton == true) 
     {
         Debug.Log ("AmmoSpawn");

If any can help with this problem I would much appreciate it! Thank you Dan
