Firefighters attend call to the Bar Napoli in Hanover Street

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service attended a report of smoke coming from the basement of the Bar Napoli in the city centre yesterday, and one of our readers was on hand to photograph the incident.

Thankfully the cause of the smoke was quickly identified and no-one was injured.

A spokesperson for the service told the Edinburgh Reporter: We received a call at 11.51am to the Bar Napoli in Hanover Street regarding smoke in the basement.

“Crews from Macdonald Road, Tollcross and Marionville attended and used a Thermal imaging camera to detect the source of the smoke which was a faulty light in the ladies toilet.

“An electrician was then called out.”
