Eleven engines and 70 firefighters were required to bring under control a big fire which started in a restaurant building. The conflagration had begun in the kitchen area of the Glasgow premises, spreading quickly to the upper floors and roof. A family who lived above in a flat had to be rescued. A fire services spokesman added: "Due to the construction of these property types, hidden fire spread via enclosed voids and spaces, and they are notoriously difficult and dangerous for crew to tackle."
