Pictures show charred remains of Subway store in Paisley after major five-hour blaze

A Subway store in Paisley has been left gutted after a major blaze which took five hours for firefighters to clear.

Crews were called to the scene on Causeyside Street at 8.40pm on Friday, June 2. Four fire engines were scrambled to the incident, where they worked until 1.30am before making the area safe.

While no injuries were reported during the blaze, shocking images revealed by Glasgow Live have shown the smouldering remains of the shop this morning. The walls and roof have been blackened by the smoke and much of the furniture and counter tops have been left in ruin by the inferno.

Police say the fire is not being treated as wilful.

A spokesperson from Police Scotland said: “Around 8.40pm on Friday, 2 June, 2023, police received a report of a fire on Causeyside Street, Paisley. “There were no reports of any injuries and the fire was extinguished by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. The fire is not thought to be wilful.”
