Suburban Inferno: Underground Fire Engulfs UK Street
13 Feb
Summary
- An underground fire has been burning for six months at high temperatures.
- Residents are enduring smoke, ash, and an overwhelming chemical smell.
- The affected area is a wooded zone behind residential properties.

An intense underground fire has plagued a suburban street in Coatbridge for the past six months. Burning at temperatures reaching up to 500 degrees Celsius, the subterranean blaze has created a hazardous environment for local residents. The situation has led to persistent smoke and ash being emitted from a wooded area at the rear of properties on Burleigh Street.
Residents have described dealing with an overwhelming 'chemical' smell and conditions so severe they feel like they are living in a 'war zone'. The ongoing nature of the fire, which began last summer, has caused significant distress and concern for the safety of those living nearby.
