An Edinburgh student has been left with nothing but the clothes she is wearing after a fire at a Southside chippy destroyed her flat above.
Aimee, a final year PHD student from China, lost everything and was left homeless after the blaze at Franco's Fish and Chips on August 8. Emergency services raced to the chip shop on Summerhall Place shortly after 11:30am.
According to the Daily Record, shocking images of the fire emerged online, showing enormous flames spewing from the open doorway of the takeaway as black smoke billowed into the sky. Pictures also show the devastation left in the wake of the fire, with Aimee’s flat destroyed and Franco’s left a charred shell.
