Milngavie residents told to close windows due to bowling club blaze

Police are telling people living in Milngavie to keep their windows closed due to plumes of smoke billowing from the Claremont Bowling Club which caught fire earlier this morning.

Firefighters are currently still trying to tame the flames hours after initial reports were made at around 7am this morning. Water from the nearby river was used by the appliances on the scene to fight the inferno.

Emergency services are asking those living in the Ellangown Road direction to make sure both their windows and doors stay shut to block any smoke from making its way into the home.
