Residents in a block of flats in Edinburgh are being told to leave their homes over concerns about fire safety. The BBC reports that fire safety investigations at Bonnington Bond have found serious issues related to the building’s cladding and insulation. Following these findings, residents are urged to immediately move out. The Daily Record similarly reports that residents are instructed to leave the “fire risk” flats and are offered temporary accommodation. Both outlets frame the advice as a precaution while fire safety concerns are assessed and addressed. The reports do not indicate that any major fire has occurred, but they describe the risk as stemming from potential problems with materials used on the building exterior and within its insulation system. Residents are therefore being relocated as an interim measure to reduce exposure to the identified hazards.
