Dozens of firefighters called to Buckie blaze
Dozens of firefighters were called out to tackle a blaze at a disused supermarket in Buckie.
Grampian Fire and Rescue Service attended the incident at Haldanes in Newlands Lane in the Moray town at about 7:00am on 14th September.
A local businessman who witnesses the fire, Steve Thornton said: “I live on the outskirts of Buckie and I could see the smoke. It looked like it was coming from my shop and I started to panic. However it was the shop 100 yards down the road. There were fire engines and ambulances. There was a lot of smoke, and quite a big bang. It was quite dramatic.”
There were no casualties reported and the fire was under control by the early afternoon. An investigation into the cause of the fire will be carried out.
£13,000 fine for fire safety breaches
The owner of a property in London, has been ordered to serve 150 hours community service and to pay £13,000 in court costs after being found guilty of a string of offences under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Mr Saif Ahmed appeared at Tower Bridge magistrates’ court after fire safety officers inspected his property in Camberwell 2009.
Steve Turek, Assistant commissioner said: “It is essential that building owners understand their responsibilities under fire safety law. London Fire Brigade works hard to ensure individuals and companies understand their responsibilities under fire safety law and only uses prosecution as a last resort but this verdict sends out a clear message that if they ignore fire safety then they will face serious penalties.”
Mr Ahmed was found guilty of 7 safety breaches including insufficient fire alarms, emergency lighting and escape routes.
