• Massive fire causes partial collapse of historic building in Glasgow
• Firefighters battle blaze for over 13 hours without injuries

A huge fire broke out at Glasgow Central Station on Sunday, leading to the partial collapse of a historic building in Scotland.

The flames started in a vape shop in the afternoon and quickly spread, engulfing the Victorian-era building.

Rail services at Scotland’s busiest station are expected to remain suspended at least until the end of Monday, with no confirmed reopening time.

Emergency services urged locals to stay clear of the area, while over 60 firefighters with 15 vehicles battled the fire for more than 13 hours without any reported injuries.

Network Rail stated after a midnight meeting that no major damage had yet been confirmed to the station, with a full assessment scheduled for morning.

Eyewitnesses reported billowing smoke and visible flames from the building next to the station entrance, describing the scene on social media as “catastrophic,” noting that four floors remained partially standing with glowing embers inside.

The building, known as "Union Corner," dates back to 1851, predating the station itself, which opened in 1879.

Police closed surrounding streets and set up detours, advising residents to keep windows closed and avoid the area.

A Fire Service spokesperson said at 22:30 local time: “Firefighters continue efforts to extinguish the large fire, with 15 fire vehicles and specialized teams, including high-reach units and a water rescue team, deployed. No injuries have been reported, and crews remain on site.”
