Man dies and girl, 8, in hospital after fire at four-storey building in Scotland
A man has died and an eight-year-old girl has been taken to hospital after a fire at a four-storey building in Scotland. Another man, aged 27, is also being treated following the blaze on the corner of Scott Street and South Street in Perth. Police Scotland has said temporary airspace restrictions are in place across Perth City Centre until 1pm on Wednesday "for security and safety". The fire was reported by officers on patrol in the area at around 1.50am on Saturday. A dozen fire crews were sent out to tackle the blaze and two firefighters were injured - one due to falling masonry. Nearby buildings were evacuated, with around 40 people forced to leave their homes. First Minister John Swinney, who is also the MSP for Perthshire North, said on social media: "Terribly sorry to hear of the death of a man in the fire in Scott Street, Perth and I express my sympathy to his family. "Concerned also for the condition of those who are receiving hospital treatment. "This is a major incident and I am thankful to the emergency services." Read more from Sky News: A joint investigation has now been launched by the police and fire services. Andy Girrity, from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, said firefighters found the roof of the four-storey residential building "well alight". "Initially, three appliances were mobilised, but due to the severity of the blaze and structural collapses, a total of twelve appliances were involved at the height of the incident," he added. "Five casualties, including one firefighter injured by falling masonry, were passed into the care of the Scottish Ambulance Service. "The incident has now been scaled back, and two appliances and one height vehicle remain on scene to dampen down hotspots."
