Terrified Edinburgh residents rocked by loud explosion and fire in quiet street

Residents in a quiet residential street in Gorgie were left terrified after an explosion could be heard on the evening of Sunday 8 May 2022.

Eilidh Montgomery, who stays on Wardlaw Street, say that they heard an explosion at around 10pm that night and when they looked out of their window they noticed a bin engulfed in flames.

They immediately phoned the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), as they feared the debris from the fire would spread to nearby parked cars.
