A significant fire at the Grade II listed Escobar building in Nottingham led to the arrest of two boys, aged 12 and 14, on suspicion of arson. Approximately 60 firefighters responded to the incident, which occurred late Monday night, and while no serious injuries were reported, the building faces potential internal collapse due to extensive fire damage.
The fire has disrupted local tram and bus services, and residents and businesses in the vicinity are experiencing ongoing challenges. Authorities are conducting a joint investigation into the cause of the fire, urging anyone with information to come forward.
