Firefighters respond to a blaze at Edinburgh’s Arthur’s Seat on Sunday evening, and crews are expected to stay at the scene for an extended period, according to fire officials. Reports say a call is received at around 6.30pm, prompting attendance by four fire appliances. A senior fire officer states that crews expect to remain for “a couple of days,” describing the work as protracted and aimed at dampening down potential hotspots rather than only tackling active flames. Multiple outlets report that firefighting crews are present at the site following the initial response and that operations continue beyond the first attendance, consistent with efforts to manage residual heat and prevent flare-ups. The reporting is aligned on the timing of the alert, the number of appliances dispatched, and the expectation of continued fire service presence over the following days, but provides no further detail in the provided excerpts on the cause of the fire or any injuries.
