The council will be talking with the police and Fire and Emergency about the blaze – but Maclean had one plea for people out and about in the city.
“Bottom line is, please don’t light rubbish on fire.”
Fire and Emergency urged people not to stack their cardboard close to buildings to avoid risk - something MacLean agrees with.
“We agree with FENZ about keeping cardboard boxes away from shop frontages – and 99 per cent of the time we don’t have a problem with this because retailers are very used to stacking cardboard boxes and other recycling in a manner that prevents it coming loose and blowing away in the wind – this usually involves keeping the cardboard closely packed and stacked.”
