Overview
- The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was alerted around 6:18pm on Saturday to a well‑developed fourth‑floor blaze at a commercial building housing the Revolver hotel on Virginia Street.
- Seven fire engines and two high‑reach appliances were deployed, with crews using aerial platforms to tackle the roof fire and prevent spread to neighbouring properties.
- Two appliances remained on scene Sunday morning to dampen hotspots, and officials reported no casualties.
- Glasgow City Council closed Glassford Street between Ingram Street and Trongate, and nearby premises including House of Gods, Trades Hall, Spires Serviced Suites and a Homeless Project Scotland kitchen were evacuated as a precaution.
