From FIA:
Firefighters in Edinburgh were called to an award-winning restaurant on one of the city's busiest districts.
Around 16 fire professionals from Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service were called to The Witchery restaurant on the Scottish capital's Royal Mile at around 7.10pm.
The team took around two hours to extinguish the blaze, which started in the reception area of the restaurant and is believed to have started due to an electronic fault.
According to a spokeswoman for the fire service noted that the firefighters "used a CO2 extinguisher, a thermal imaging camera and small tools to cut away damage".
A 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment must be conducted on all commercial properties in Scotland - including all restaurants - under the Fire Scotland Act 2005.
If the fire risk assessment is carried out to an insufficient extent, the Duty Holder can face up to two years in prison, or an unlimited fine.
