A 14-year-old boy has been arrested over a fire at a derelict building in Glasgow.

Four fire engines and two aerial appliances were sent to Wardie Road in the Easterhouse area of the city after the alarm was raised on Sunday afternoon.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said one appliance remained at the scene overnight. There were no reported casualties.

Police Scotland said the boy would be reported to the "relevant authorities".

Roads were closed on Sunday and people living nearby were asked to close windows and doors. All roads have since reopened.
