An Edinburgh bar worker kindly opened his doors to dozens of residents left shell-shocked after their block of flats burst into flames on Wednesday.
The blaze broke out at Craigievar House on Craigmount Brae just after 3pm, with worried locals quickly spotting thick black smoke pouring from the building.
Jim Aitken, who works in the Mid Yoken pub next to the building where the fire took place, said some people thought it was the popular drinking spot that was evacuated by brave firefighters.
