Near Glasgow central station.
From the BBC
“Firefighters are tackling a major blaze at Glasgow Central Station, which is closed until further notice.
The alarm was raised with reports of a fire in a shop in Union Street at about 15:45 on Sunday.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service says 15 appliances including three high-reach vehicles are at the scene.
Water has been pumped from the River Clyde to douse the flames but the fire has taken hold of the Victorian buildings.
The dome at one corner of the building has collapsed.”
Guests at the Voco Grand Central Hotel on Gordon Street have been evacuated.
Those staying at the hotel were ordered to leave immediately at about 19:00 as the fire spread.
Posting online, external, the hotel said guests had been relocated to the Radisson Blu on Argyle Street.
Hope there are no casualties.

I`ve just watched the video of how the fire started.
A city skyline changed forever due to a dodgy vape shop.

Since they are heavily pushing batteries in every walk of life, they’re going to have to come up with safe storage and disposal of batteries that is quick and easy to interact/use. This is another indication of that.
My prediction is, it’s going to cost all of us more money.

The environmental impact of lithium batteries isn`t small. Neither is the generation of the electricity to charge them.
The issue with shops like this one is they will be selling a load of cheap, imported vapes. The ones on display may be legit but it`s not uncommon for shops to have a secret stash in the same way many shops have a secret stash of dodgy fags.
