Police are investigating wilful fire-raising at a building in Clydebank.
The fire was set deliberately at a derelict building and caused locals to evacuate from their homes as a safety precaution, as well as a number of road closures, for a 'considerable' length of time.
The incident happened on Saturday, August 6, in Frank Downie House in Ottawa Crescent, with emergency services being called to the scene at around 9.45pm.

No one was injured as a result of the fire, which was extinguished by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Detective Constable Colin Nichol, of Clydebank CID, said: “Fortunately no one was injured but this was an extensive fire and resulted in people being evacuated from their homes and a number of roads being closed for a considerable time.
“A joint Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service investigation is underway and I am appealing to anyone who saw anything suspicious both before and after the fire started to get in touch.
“In addition, anyone who has dash-cam or private CCTV footage that could assist with our enquiries is asked to make contact with officers.”
Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3831 of Saturday, August 6, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
