"12 appliances, including 3 height appliances, were in attendance to scene of a derelict building.
"There are no casualties and crews remain in attendance."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers attended reports of a fire at Queen Mary Street in Bridgeton at a derelict building around 11.50pm on Friday, 22 April, 2022.
"No-one was injured and enquiries are ongoing to establish the cause of the fire.”
An eye witness captured images of the dramatic incident, which appears to show several fire engines present and large clouds filling the sky with smoke as darkness fell.
Robyn Buchanan told Glasgow Live: "Many people in the area gathered and watched as several firefighters tried for hours to control the fire. There was bright embers filling the sky.
"Loads of people were shouting and in fear for the people who lived in the nearby houses. It was a scary time for the people in Bridgeton.
"The fire just kept spreading through the building. It started on the top floor and worked it’s way down as you could see it in the windows.
She added: "The firefighters and police did a great job speaking to the people in the area and keeping everyone calm as they watched."
