Debenhams Fire Investigation Delayed | Edinburgh News
Description
Fire investigators are still piecing together what caused the devastating blaze in the old Debenhams building on Princes Street, but access to the worst-hit area remains blocked due to structural instability. With the facade barely holding together and unrestrained masonry posing a constant fall risk, engineers are racing to install scaffolding within three weeks—weather permitting—to finally allow a full forensic probe. While the city aims to reopen Princes Street by August 26th, delays are likely if conditions turn unfavorable. Unlike the Jenners fire, no one was hurt here, but the investigation’s timeline is still uncertain as teams coordinate closely with police and fire crews to ensure safety while uncovering answers.
