Blaze breaks out at housing site Housing site blaze 'deliberate'
(about 3 hours later)
Firefighters are tackling a large fire that has broken out at the site of housing development under construction. Police believe a fire which has caused considerable damage to a housing development under construction in Glasgow was started deliberately.
Emergency teams were called just after 1930 BST following reports of the blaze at Kelvindale Glade in west Glasgow. Emergency services were called to the four-storey structure in Kelvindale Glade, near Maryhill, at about 1940 BST on Sunday.
Five crews from Maryhill, Yorkhill, Knightswood and Cowcaddens are dealing with the fire. Firefighters were at the scene of the blaze, which caused "extensive damage" throughout the night.
"The incident commander was faced with a well-developed fire within a building under construction," said a Strathclyde Fire and Rescue spokesman. Police are checking CCTV footage from the local area.
"The structure was surrounded by scaffolding which had started to buckle due to the intensity of the heat from the fire." They are also carrying out door-to-door inquiries.
A four-storey building, adjacent to the development, has been evacuated as a precaution. 'Suspicious manner'
Fire investigation officers will work with Strathclyde Police to establish the cause of the blaze. Det Con Liz Cameron, of Strathclyde Police, said: "Fortunately nobody was injured as a result of the fire - a fire which has caused significant damage to the development.
"There is no estimate as to the cost of this damage, however, it is expected to run into hundreds of thousands of pounds.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Kelvindale Glade, Kelvindale Road, and saw anyone behaving in a suspicious manner, either during the day or evening to contact us."
