## Resource

A small but startling fire broke out in Leicester’s abandoned Malcolm Arcade, engulfing the former Cafe Rialto—closed for six decades—around 2:42 PM on June 10th. Fire crews swiftly contained the blaze, which measured just two meters square, using breathing gear and a hose. No injuries occurred, and damage was minimal, mostly smoke residue. The fire was fully extinguished by 4:24 PM, after a thorough sweep confirmed the building was empty. Authorities handed the case over to Leicestershire Police for investigation, serving as a reminder that even vacant spaces can spark unexpected emergencies.
