LONDON, March 9 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- A building partially collapsed following a major fire near Glasgow Central Station in Scotland on Sunday, forcing the closure of the country's busiest railway station and causing widespread disruption to rail services, reported Xinhua quoting British media.
The blaze broke out at a vape shop on Union Street in Glasgow city centre and spread to a nearby building, which later partially collapsed as firefighters tackled the flames, the BBC said.
Network Rail said Glasgow Central Station had been closed "until further notice" and would not reopen on Monday morning as emergency services continued to deal with the incident.
No casualties have been reported, according to the reports. Emergency services urged the public to stay away from the area as cordons were put in place on surrounding streets and large crowds gathered to watch the fire.
Investigations into the cause of the blaze are ongoing.
