[Seahorse]

Oh dear, another fire at Broadford. There'll be nothing left of it soon.

An investigation has been launched to establish if a fire at a disused factory in Aberdeen was started deliberately.

Four fire appliances attended the blaze at the Broadford Works on Maberley Street after the alarm was raised at 8.15pm on Sunday.

The fire crews were at the scene for over four hours tackling the blaze, while Maberley Street was cordoned off between Skene Square and Charlotte Street for an hour.

A spokesman for Grampian Fire and Rescue Service said the fire started on the fourth floor.
He added that an investigation team were visiting the factory on Monday to establish the cause of the fire.

The Broadford Works, which has lain empty since 2004 when Aberdeen textile business Richards closed its doors, has been a frequent target for firebugs.
