Fire started in Glasgow vape shop closes Scotland's busiest train station
Summary
A significant fire erupted in a vape shop on Union Street in Glasgow, Scotland, leading to the closure of Glasgow Central Station, the country's busiest railway hub. The fire, which began Sunday afternoon, quickly engulfed a four-story building dating back to 1851, eventually causing its collapse, leaving only the facade intact. Rail operators anticipate significant disruptions to travel to, from, and through the station, with no immediate estimate for reopening. Scottish authorities have reported no injuries. Witnesses and officials have compared the devastation to the damage inflicted during the Blitz of World War II, with one Scottish Parliament member describing the building as a “gutted shell.” Businesses within the building, including a cafe and hair salon, were destroyed, but some, like Sexy Coffee, have vowed to rebuild.
