An eyewitness, Lamin Kongira, recounted his attempt to tackle a fire at a vape shop near Glasgow Central station on Sunday afternoon. After a shopkeeper alerted him to the fire, Kongira discovered flames originating from a charging system under the counter. He initially tried to extinguish the fire with an extinguisher but was forced to retreat after two explosions. Kongira then focused on keeping people away from the building. The fire quickly engulfed the entire building, leading to its partial collapse and the closure of Glasgow Central Station. The 19th-century building, including iconic features like its dome, sustained significant damage, with only the facade remaining. Locals expressed shock and sadness over the loss of the historic landmark and the destruction of nearby businesses.
