Firefighters tackle blaze in Glasgow

More than 30 firefighters have fought a blaze at a boxing gym in the east end of Glasgow.

Strathclyde Fire and Rescue service were called to the incident at Morrison's Gym in the Dalmarnock area of the city at around 4.15pm on Thursday (1st December).

Upon their arrival, the seven fire crews revealed that around half of the single-storey building was ablaze. No one was injured in the fire. A full forensic investigation is due to begin today in order to determine the cause of the blaze.

A 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment must be conducted on all commercial properties in Scotland under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.

If this fire risk assessment is judged to have not been carried out to a suitable extent, the Duty Holder for the establishment can face up to two years in prison or an unlimited fine.

The gym is owned by famous boxing promoter Alex Morrison, who manages world champion Ricky Burns.
