A fire
broke out in a Scottish city centre Indian restaurant recently for
the third time in ten years reports The Scotsman.
The blaze at
the Omar Khayyam restaurant in Grosvenor Street, Haymarket, started
in the extraction system.
Fire crews
were called to the scene at 11.40am, and managed to extinguish flames
before it spread any further. Three fire crews left the scene at 1.30pm.
It follows a
fire in May, 2003 which started in the restaurant's ventilation system.
A blaze raged
through the restaurant ten years ago. It started in the basement
kitchen and swept through the dining area. All five floors were damaged.
Alison
Adamson-Ross, of kiltmakers Mcpherson Scotland in Grosvener Street
witnessed the fire. She said: "The memories came flooding
back of the really bad fire they had, and I thought 'not again'."
