Well, it's hardly news but I did walk past the bin opposite the Donald Dewar statue in Glasgow and saw it on fire at about 7:30 pm Mon evening. Like a number of other people, I reasoned there was such a small amount of litter on the floor of the bin that it would harmlessly burn itself out. Thus, no point in calling out a fire engine for that.
Then a fire engine turned up, parking just by Donald Dewar. The 'smoke' you see on the photos is what appeared after the hose was turned on the flames. I don't know how much it costs in fuel to drag a fire engine out but I'm sure it was a waste of money.
