Major blaze at former Scots care home with residents evacuated 'deliberate', police say

A major blaze that tore its way through a former Scots care home is being treated as deliberate, police have confirmed.

Nearby residents of Frank Downie House in Clydebank were evacuated from their homes at 9.30pm on Saturday August 6 as the inferno ripped its way through the derelict building.

Six fire engines raced to the scene on Ottawa Crescent as firefighters worked overnight to tackle the blaze. Shocking drone footage revealed the extent of the fire as aggressive flames were filmed ripping through the building as smoke was captured billowing over the sky and into the region.
