An update has been provided following a blaze in Airdrie this week.
The Glasgow Times previously reported that the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were called to the town's Chapel Street at around 5.10pm on April 5 after a fire broke out in a derelict building near to New Open Kitchen takeaway.Images of the inferno were taken by local resident Matt McCulloch, who alerted the emergency services after he smelt burning.
He told the Glasgow Times on Friday evening: "The fire started at around 5.10pm and I made the first call at about 5.14pm because we were all unsure as to whether it was someone burning rubbish or not."The roof was ablaze and fire crews and police started to cordon off the whole area, and now at 8pm almost every entry point is cordoned off.
"Initially, when I called 999, I knew the fire crew would need access and there were a few people's cars in the way that were inside New Open Kitchen."The smoke could be seen and smelled all the way to Centenary Way by the viaduct.""That's when the fire crew started to rush about with hoses and the police took a more hardline stance with the cordon, manually directing traffic and shutting off access points.
