Investigators called in after unexplained Bonnybridge fires
25 January
The unexplained fires in Bonnybridge have sparked an investigation by a team of experts, according to the Falkirk Herald.
Earlier this month (January 2012), s1bonnybridge reported on a fire at JD Joinery on Broomhill Road and a blaze at Kismet Takeaway on High Street within two days of each other.
We also reported recently about fears in the local community that arsonists might be targeting local business.
It has since been announced that Lothian and Borders Fire Brigade specialists have been drafted in to examine the cause of the blaze on Broomhill Road.
The Falkirk Herald reported that the series of unexplained Bonnybridge fires began in March 2011, when a large storage shed in Broomhill Road was razed to the ground.
On April 8, a derelict warehouse in Seabegs Roads was destroyed; an industrial unit in Greenhill Road was reportedly ablaze on April 2; whilst the old Ebenezer Gospel Hall in Bridge Street also caught fire.
