## Resource

A devastating fire ripped through Edinburgh’s historic Princes Street, destroying a landmark that housed Debenhams for 150 years and leaving the city reeling. Flames erupted around 3 AM, taking 14 hours to extinguish, forcing evacuations, disrupting public transport, and reigniting fears after Jenners’ fire years ago. Eyewitnesses and officials mourn the loss of architectural gems like a grand staircase and stained glass, questioning whether enough was done to safeguard this heritage. Fire crews praised for preventing wider damage are still assessing the site, while the building’s owner, planning a hotel conversion, prioritizes safety and thanks emergency responders as they await the cause investigation.
