The cause of an iconic Edinburgh building blaze that critically injured a firefighter remains unknown, the city council leader said. Fire crews were called to former department store Jenners, which was being turned into a hotel, at 11.29am on Monday, January 23. Five firefighters were taken to hospital for treatment, with one in a "critical condition". Photo: Dan Barker
