More than 60 firefighters are tackling a huge blaze in Glasgow city centre.<\/p>\n
Emergency services were called to Union Street near Glasgow Central Station at around 3.46pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The fire is understood to have taken hold in the ground floor of a commercial building, which has now collapsed.<\/p>\n
Video footage shows it has since spread to the building on the corner of Gordon Street.<\/p>\n
The station will remain closed on Monday morning with services suspended. National Rail said the station will be closed until further notice as crews continued to tackle the fire five hours after it began.<\/p>\n
No trains will run to or from the high-level platforms at Scotland\u2019s busiest station, and trains that run through the low-level platforms will not call at Glasgow Central.<\/p>\n
Voco Grand Central Hotel has also been evacuated.<\/p>\n
Police have urged people to avoid the area and have told residents to keep their windows closed.<\/p>\n
First Minister John Swinney said in a post on X: \u201cI am deeply concerned about the fire near Glasgow Central Station tonight and very grateful to all of the emergency services who are responding.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease continue to follow travel guidance, avoid the area and stay safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sadly the building has now partially collapsed. I hope the fire can be contained. The corner of the Forsyth Building, as well as the Caledonian Chambers and Central Hotel seem unaffected.<\/p>\n
It’s a massive blow to Union Street with the restoration of the Egyptian Halls in prospect. https:\/\/t.co\/trpkXKJ97s<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/LLVrzJMD7w<\/a><\/p>\n
