A FIRE on Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street is being treated as deliberate.
We previously reported that 999 crews raced to the scene at around 2am on Thursday following a blaze in the area.
In videos, smoke could be seen billowing from the top of a building.
It has now been revealed that the fire was started from a skip.
Firefighters left the scene soon after but police confirmed that this is being considered a deliberate attack.
An investigation has been launched.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 2.10am on Thursday, March 21, 2024, we were called to a report of a fire within a skip on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow.
"Emergency services attended and the fire was extinguished by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. The fire is being treated as wilful and enquiries are ongoing."
