BBC Scotland's Glasgow HQ on fire as crews race to scene

Emergency services have raced to BBC Scotland's HQ in Glasgow where a fire has broken out.

Scottish Fire and Rescue were called to the scene of the blaze at Pacific Quay at around 11.30am on Sunday January 31.

It is understood the fire started with a utility room on top of the roof.

The extent of the blaze is not known at this time.

Firefighters are currently at the scene extinguishing the blaze, while pictures on social media show workers evacuated outside the media hub.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We were alerted at 11.26am on Sunday, January 31 to reports of smoke issuing from the roof of a commercial building in Glasgow’s Pacific Quay.

"Operations Control has mobilised four fire appliances and an aerial platform to the scene, and firefighters are presently working to extinguish a fire that has taken hold within a utility room on top of the roof.”
