Default Massive Fire in Glasgow Central Station, came from a Vape Shop



[The dome on that building has now completely collapsed
after the fire spread through it]


Dodgy chargers in the Vape shop
I assume

That station was such a large part of my youth. Every time a band released a new album, i got the train to central station and walked round the corner to Listen records. I was usually able to buy the album, and then get on the same train to take me home.

Those were the days

…crikey, huge amount of damage to the station and surrounding buildings as well as disrupting so much travel but let’s hope for no one hurt ….

I was going to say, I bet its the batteries. Those lithium batteries burn are so hard to extinguish if they go up

The station itself appears to have escaped any serious damage, which is incredible given the scale of the fire

They seem to be building many of these ticking time bombs all over the country. All planned.

The shop where Sunday’s devastating fire started does not appear on the Scottish
Government’s register of tobacco and vape retailers, which all vape sellers are required
by law to join
