Was this not bought over by someone wanting to turn it into flats but couldn't get permission to tear this down as it is a listed building? Seems like an insurance job to me!

lol my cus was at cadets (during summer so they were at james watt dock) when this happened, they had to come in and they got stuck there until about 12/1am becus the only way in/out is through the main entrance, and it was toxic fum,es...and i cant think on it being a insurance job because from what i heard, they were using it as a storage for tires (hense the black smoke/smell)
