Investigations underway following arson at Scottish demolition site.
The fire service has urged the public to stay away from a major demolition site after a waste timber blaze. It follows an incident in the Dalswinton Avenue area of Dumfries at about 0200 BST on Tuesday. The fire and rescue service said it appeared the fire had been started deliberately.
