They're securing the building, right now there are about 20 firemen standing around while one is up on the cherry picker taking glass out a damaged window...
Traffic is all snarled up though, avoid all the area if you can.

The Scotsman once again shows its knowledge of Edinburgh: "Fountainbridge was closed both ways between Lothian Road and Semple Street due to the building fire, with at least seven appliances at the scene."
Closed both ways? It's a blinkin' one way street!

You can't expect the Chipwrapper to get the building or the street right. The next one along was a good enough guess.

They're putting up temporary fencing, looks like that bit is going to be shut for a while yet.

Handy for the fire station at least.

Aye, only took a few minutes from me noticing the smoke out the chimney to the fire engines turning up. In that few minutes the room I can see was an inferno...
I'm sure one of them walked back through the alley to get something at one point.
