Firefighters tackled a blaze at a former industrial building in Dundee until the early hours of Saturday morning.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) confirmed a call was made shortly after 8.45pm on Friday.

Two 13-year-olds have been charged in connection with the blaze which took hold at the old JWT (Scotland) Ltd building – also formerly home to Godfreys Technical Textiles – on Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate.

Crews from Macalpine Road, Blackness Road and Balmossie fire station in Monifieth attended the scene.

Road closures were put in place and locals were asked to avoid the area.

A spokesperson for SFRS said the stop call came at 1.05am on Saturday.

She said: “The call came in at 8.48pm.

“We had four pumps and one aerial appliance in attendance.

“There were four jets in use, two breathing apparatus and one ground marker.

“The stop call came at 1.05am.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9pm on Friday, 20 October, 2023, police received a report of a fire at a building in Gourdie Industrial Estate, Arrol Road, Dundee.

“Officers attended and two 13-year-old boys have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.”

The building, on the junction of Nobel Road and Arrol Road, was the site of a fire earlier this year, having already been damaged in a blaze in 2022.
