STV NewsOne person was treated at the scene after fire crews tackled a blaze at a café in Glasgow’s Southside.
Emergency services were called to Victoria Road around 5.52pm on Wednesday after reports of a building fire.
Flames and thick smoke were pictured coming from inside the Mi Chaii café, which sits below three floors of residential properties.
It’s understood that the fire took hold in the bar and back kitchen of the business.

At least five fire engines and an aerial appliance were at the scene, and the road between Queens Drive and Torrisdale Street was closed.
It was confirmed that the road reopened just after 9pm.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed one person received treatment at the scene for smoke inhalation.
Firefighters put out the blaze and the last appliance left at 11.30pm.
Police said the fire is not believed to be suspicious.
