Glasgow Fire

Shame about that beautiful building collapsing 😳

Who on earth decided to permit a vape shop - a retailer with thousands of devices containing Lithium batteries, all of which are no doubt made in China, to questionable quality standards - in or near critical infrastructure such as a key national rail hub?

You wouldn’t permit a retailer selling fireworks in such a location, so why a vape shop?

Nice to see you back FriedGreen!

Aren’t a lot of vape shops outlets for money laundering, anyway?

They're all over the place now - so after this horrific incident, it does beg questions about how safe they are.

I hadn't heard about the cause of the fire.

However, I was surprised that this fire warranted less than 30 seconds on the BBC News last night.

My GD was in Glasgow on the day of the fire. She saw the smoke. Luckily she was on the train home just before they closed the station.
The station will be closed tomorrow too.

Vape not vale!

An expert Paul Christiansen is talking now on Radio 4 and he thinks there should be some concern and checks on vale batteries.
He also mentioned that unless handled appropriately in the home they were unstable, more so if they’ve been bought illegally.

Vape shops need to be vetted now to find out how fire safe they are.
