Man tried to extinguish Glasgow vape shop blaze before explosion forced him back
A man attempted to put out a fire in a Glasgow vape shop but was forced to retreat after an explosion.Summary
Lamin Kongira, a 42-year-old chef, attempted to extinguish a fire he discovered at a vape shop on Union Street in Glasgow on Sunday afternoon. After finding no fire extinguisher inside, he retrieved one from a nearby Subway restaurant and returned to fight the blaze, but the fire was too intense. He was forced to retreat after hearing loud bangs and an initial explosion, which he believes may have originated from a vape device. Kongira then helped to secure the street before a second, more powerful explosion occurred before the fire brigade arrived. He suffered from smoke inhalation and headaches but stated his actions were motivated by his frequent use of Central Station, which he considers a significant part of Glasgow's landscape.
