Fire-hit Glasgow warehouse to be demolished

Fire-hit Glasgow warehouse to be demolished


17 Apr 2012 From FIA

A warehouse in Glasgow is set to be demolished after suffering irreparable damage in a fire last week.
Fire crews were called to Alfa Wholesale Cash and Carry in the Finneston area of Glasgow just after 8.30pm on Friday (13th April).
Around 30 firefighters tackled the flames for several hours before it was eventually brought under control at around 3.20am on the following morning.
A spokesman for the council said: "The basement of the property was gutted in the fire, while the building control team have also confirmed the building will be demolished as a result.
"It is our understanding the owner's insurers are on-site looking at taking care of the demolition of the 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.
