The fire that ripped through Glasgow School of Art’s Mackintosh building in 2018 was so fierce and all-consuming that the cause can never be known conclusively, according to a long-awaited report.
The art school said it “shared the frustration” that the exact cause of the fire, which destroyed the iconic Grade A-listed building as it neared the end of a £35m restoration project following an earlier blaze in May 2014, had not been identified in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) report, published on Tuesday.
