The blaze originated at an e-scooter charging point located adjacent to the popular New Town Central Mall, a usually bustling area. The incident occurred sometime this evening, prompting immediate calls to emergency services.

The sight of smoke and the proximity of the fire to the large shopping mall quickly led to a sense of panic among shoppers, mall staff, and local residents.
