Emergency services respond to a second fire at the same location in less than a year.
Topics covered
In a concerning turn of events, Aberdeen fire crews were summoned to a house fire on Park Street for the second time in less than twelve months. The incident occurred on a chilly evening, with smoke visibly billowing from the property, which had previously suffered significant damage in a fire just last May.
Emergency response and firefighting efforts
At approximately PM, three fire appliances were dispatched to the scene. Firefighters quickly deployed water jets to combat the flames, which were clearly visible from the first-floor window of the residence. After successfully extinguishing the fire, crews entered the building to ensure the area was safe and secure.
Police involvement and community impact
In response to the fire, Police Scotland established cordons around the area, restricting vehicle access to Park Street from both Frederick Street and Constitution Street. Officers were seen canvassing nearby businesses for CCTV footage, hoping to gather more information about the incident. While ambulances were stationed nearby, there has been no confirmation of injuries related to the fire.
History of fire incidents at the property
This latest fire follows a devastating blaze that occurred in May 2024, which left part of the roof of 81-83 Park Street destroyed and the neighboring house heavily smoke-damaged. At that time, one of the owners of the adjacent property expressed her relief, stating, “I was lucky to be alive.” The recurrence of fires at this location raises serious concerns about safety and the potential underlying issues that may be contributing to these incidents.
As the investigation continues, local residents are left to ponder the implications of such repeated emergencies in their community. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed that they have now vacated the scene, but the community remains on high alert as they await further updates.
