Debenhams Fire Shuts Down Edinburgh Street | Edinburgh News
Description
A massive early-morning fire tore through Edinburgh’s historic Debenhams building on Princes Street, now reduced to charred ruins—once slated to become a hotel, now a demolition site. Fire crews battled flames all night, still working to extinguish hotspots, while trams are rerouted and traffic diverted. The area between Castle and Frederick Streets is shut down, with businesses nearby forced to close. City officials say it’s too soon to determine the cause, but stress the owner and contractors are responsible for safety. No injuries reported, but the blaze has sent shockwaves through the city center, disrupting travel, commerce, and daily life.
