Hey, so firefighters are putting out a fire. It’s happening in the west part of our city. People reported a gas leak earlier today to authorities.

Police evacuated people from North Kelvinside. It was around 11:45 AM on February 22nd, 2025. Police closed Maryhill Road at several intersections. Garscube Road, Queen Margaret Drive, and Hinshaw Road are affected. Northpark Street is still closed, too.

You cannot drive onto Dunard Street right now. Someone filmed firefighters working on Maryhill Road. Police were standing nearby, according to the footage available.

The roads are still closed, I understand. Residents are waiting for more information on when they can return home. The public should also avoid the area near the incident for safety.

Police Scotland said Maryhill Road shut down. Garscube Road, Queen Margaret Drive, and Hinshaw Street are closed. Northpark Street is also closed for now. Dunard Street has no access currently.
The police were called at 11:45 AM. That was on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025. They evacuated some buildings as a precaution, people are saying. Motorists should not drive through the area.

We asked Police Scotland for more information. We will share it as soon as we get it.
