Edinburgh firefighters battle basement blaze in Bruntsfield coffee shop

Up to 25 firefighters were sent to tackle a blaze in a plush Edinburgh suburb last night.

Four crews and a height appliance were dispatched to Bruntsfield Place shortly before 8pm on Friday 3 July to fight a fire in popular café Project Coffee.

Photos emerged on social media of firefighters outside a coffee shop.

One passer-by John Vassiliou posted on Twitter : "Bad fire at Project Coffee."

The coffee shop was closed at the time and there were no further details as to the cause of the fire or the extent of any damage - Edinburgh Live have contacted Scotland's Fire and Rescue Service for further comment.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue spokesman told the Daily Recor last night at 8.30pm: "A fire was located in the basement of a building - we're still fighting it."
