Firefighters Battle Multiple Large Blazes in US, Scotland

Firefighters across the United States and Scotland have been actively combating several significant fires over the weekend. In Great Falls, Montana, crews extinguished an electrical house fire that required removing parts of a bedroom to access the blaze. In Allentown, Pennsylvania, firefighters responded to a large fire with no immediate information on injuries or cause. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles near Gardena, a commercial building fire involving battery storage led to a small explosion and prompted a defensive firefighting strategy to prioritize safety and contain the fire. Baldwin, New York, saw a commercial building fire that displaced residents from second-floor apartments and injured one firefighter; the cause is under investigation but no criminal activity is suspected. Additionally, firefighters in Edinburgh, Scotland, are tackling a rapidly spreading wildfire on Arthur's Seat, with police advising the public to avoid surrounding areas, following a summer marked by extensive wildfires in the region.
