She said: "The [fire] in Leslie Street was on the ground floor where the flat is completely destroyed and the smoke made the close totally off limits. I was stuck in my flat watching the smoke enter under the hallway door and it was terrifying.
"My neighbour's son was trapped inside and jumped from the third storey window and was taken to hospital.
"At 3.30am we were woken up by a neighbour who told us there was a fire and to leave. We got dressed in five minutes by which time the smoke had filled the close and we couldn’t leave. We put towels down at the hall door and opened windows and closed doors and sat outside and hoped it was all alright."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of a fire at a property on Leslie Street, Glasgow, around 4.20am on Friday, 20 January, 2023.
“Emergency services attended and two men were taken to hospital for treatment.
“Enquiries into the cause of the fire are ongoing.”
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has been contacted for comment.
