Emergency services were called to Deanbrae Street, Uddingston on Wednesday morning.
news.stv.tvHere’s the latest I could verify about the Uddingston fire from credible outlets:
- A major blaze occurred at a car garage/industrial site on Bothwell Road in Uddingston in late April 2026. Fire crews were on scene overnight, with roads near the site closed and surrounding businesses evacuated or affected; there were reports of a roof collapse during the height of the fire, but no confirmed injuries initially reported at that time [BBC News; STV News].
- Drone footage and follow-up reporting indicated the fire caused significant damage to the garage and surrounding area, with authorities addressing hotspots and monitoring for any rekindling in the days after the event; emergency services remained at the scene for a period to ensure safety [BBC News; STV News].
- Nearby Tesco and BP petrol/retail premises were affected by evacuations or access restrictions during the response, and community support measures were made available to those displaced or impacted [STV News].
If you want, I can pull the very latest updates from current local outlets (BBC Scotland, STV, Glasgow Live) and summarize any new developments or official statements. Also, I can provide a timeline of what happened, what was damaged, and current safety advisories for residents in the Uddingston area. Would you like me to do that?
