Fire rips through seven-storey tower block in Glasgow

Flames tore through a seven-storey tower block in Glasgow overnight on Sunday.

Crews battled the flames on every floor of the building on Elliot Street in Finnieston, while more firefighters used a further high pressure jet to assist from an elevated platform.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service brought the blaze under control by 2am on Monday after receiving several 999 calls just before midnight.

Firefighters continued working through the night to check for any hidden fire spread and to conduct dampening down operations.

No one was trapped in the block or hurt in the incident.

Specialist officers from an SFRS fire investigation unit will attend the scene and work with police to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.
