Shetland fires should act as warning to modular building industry

BBC News By Jen Stout image captionFair Isle Bird Observatory was destroyed by fire in 2019 Two devastating fires in Shetland should act as a warning to the modular building industry, it has been claimed. The world-famous Fair Isle Bird Observatory was lost in 2019, followed last year by the Moorfield Hotel. Both buildings were less than 10 years old and made from factory-built units, which had been shipped up to Shetland by sea.

No-one was injured in either incident.
