‘Like bombs going off’

She captured dramatic footage of the fire at its peak.
“This was a massive scene, and we were there first with the first fire engine trying to help civilians and traffic stay away”, she told STV News.
“It was a walk to the corner for us, it was very close. The bangs were incredibly loud, it sounded like bombs were going off when we first arrived.
