Firefighters tackled a raging blaze for almost 11 hours after being called to a derelict building in Bellshill on Tuesday night (May 30).
The building on Liberty Road, believed to be the former YMCA centre, was up in flames after 11pm with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sending four fire appliances to the scene.
Nearby resident's saw plumes of thick black smoke pouring out of the building with one describing the scenes as "shocking".
