The case for firms to have business insurance to protect their premises in the event of a fire could be highlighted after a Scottish charity saw a centre devastated by a blaze.
A Edinburgh Evening News article reports that Wester Hailes Befrienders' The Log Cabin was destroyed by a fire on Monday night (August 31st), with the organisation now looking for a new home.
However, this is not the first time that the charity - which is run by Children 1st - has been affected by such an event. On August 15th, the young person's centre was also damaged by fire.
Debbie Adams, deputy chief executive of Children 1st, states: "It is extremely disappointing that The Log Cabin has been subject to another fire. Staff, volunteers and those that use our service were devastated after the first fire."
The second blaze is currently being treated as suspicious and as a police investigation is under way, it could highlight the need for firms to have comprehensive business insurance in place.
Business insurance can help a firm to recover expenses incurred by damage to or loss to physical assets following a fire, although this will depend on the insurer's assessment and final decision on the claim filed.
