Investigation into Dundee blaze remains on-going almost two weeks on

The investigation into a fire at a derelict Dundee building remains on-going, almost two weeks on.

The blaze took place at the empty property on 59 Dock Street, near the city’s waterfront on June 30 at about 12.30pm.

The building’s structure was left “unsafe” following the incident, which took three hours for the emergency services to bring under control.

The fire also had a knock-on effect on traffic throughout the city, with vehicles left queuing back across the Tay Road Bridge and along Riverside Drive.

Smoke was spotted billowing from the empty building and into neighbouring streets on the day.

However, eleven days on, the cause of the incident remains unknown to investigators.

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said the probe into what sparked the blaze had been “handed over” to the police.

And a police spokesman said the incident was “still being investigated”, adding it had been recorded as a “suspicious incident”.

However he said officers did not yet know if the blaze had been caused intentionally.

Four fire engines, police and an ambulance converged on the building on the day, with the flames extinguished just after 3pm.

An electrical engineer and building safety inspector were called to the scene to advise firefighters on the stability of the building.

Speaking on the day, a fire and rescue spokeswoman said: “The structural engineer has advised that the building is unsafe.”

Also speaking at the time, witness Carla O’Donoghue said there had been “a lot” of smoke in the streets following the blaze.

She added: “We thought at first it was the hotel which might have been on fire.”
