The Evening Times went back to Blochairn nearly four weeks on from the disaster which destroyed businesses and shocked Glasgow.
Photographer Jamie Simspson documented the catasrophy that the blaze left behind when it ripped through the fruitmarket in the early hours of August 17.
As we revelealed today, fire fighters risked their lives to put out the flames and stop them from destroying other buildings and livelihoods.
They battled searing 1000 degree heat, falling metal, flames and smoke to hem in the blaze.
Sadly some parts of the venue were too badly damaged and are now left as blackened piles of rubble, rubbish and metal.
