Firefighters have extinguished an inferno at a high-rise flat in Edinburgh which saw 100 residents evacuated from their homes.
Emergency services scrambled to the incident on Breadalbane Street in the Bonnington area of the capital after receiving the alarm 4.10 am on Thursday, March 14. More than 70 firefighters and 12 fire engines were drafted to the scene at the height of the blaze.

They did not require hospital treatment. All residents were uninjured.

Resident and MSP for Central Scotland, Graham Simpson, earlier told the Record: "An alarm went off, it goes off quite a lot but you just have to get out and thank goodness people did even at five in the morning. Everybody got out, which is the main thing.
"It was a very dramatic fire to watch. It spread upwards so the sixth-floor flat got gutted as well. So there are at least two flats completely destroyed by the fire and a lot of smoke damage as well."
Area Commander David Dourley is the officer in charge. He said: “The fire is now extinguished, and crews remain on scene as we work to bring this incident to a safe conclusion. Clearly this has been a complex incident requiring a significant response to limit spread and contain the fire.
