Cheapside Street whisky bond fire

The Cheapside Street whisky bond fire in Glasgow on 28 March 1960 is Britain's worst peacetime fire services disaster. The fire at a whisky bond killed 14 fire service and 5 salvage corps personnel.[1] This fire was overshadowed only by a similar fire in James Watt Street (also in Glasgow) on 19 November 1968, when 22 people died.
