Firefighters are still working at the scene of a grass and vegetation fire near Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh nearly 24 hours after the incident begins. Multiple outlets report that emergency services are called out early on Monday evening, after a blaze breaks out in the area of vegetation near the ruins of St Anthony’s Chapel. Reports indicate that firefighters remain on scene as efforts continue to control the fire and prevent it from spreading.

No outlet’s provided text specifies the cause of the fire, the extent of damage, or whether people are injured. The shared details focus on the location near Arthur’s Seat, the vegetation involved, the timing of the alarm, and the continued presence of firefighters almost a full day after the start of the blaze.
