Scottish roofing firm hit by fire

13 Jan 2012 From FIA

A roofing firm in Scotland has been damaged after a fire tore through the premises last night (January 12th).Around 30 firefighters were called to the Stevenson and Kelly building in Aberdeenshire at around 8.20pm.

Fire crews spent two-and-a-half hours tackling the blaze, which caused extensive damage and resulted in the closure of the A90 between Aberdeen and Balmedie for four hours.At 8am this morning, firefighters returned to the site after members of the public reported seeing smoke billowing from building.

A 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment must be conducted on all commercial properties in Scotland under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.

If this fire risk assessment is judged to have not been carried out to a suitable extent, the Duty Holder for the establishment can face up to two years in prison or an unlimited fine.No-one was injured in the blaze, which is not being treated as suspicious
