Explosion Rocks Rockstar North, GTA 6 Developer HQ in Edinburgh

An explosion has rocked a video game developer HQ in Edinburgh, Scotland. At around 5am on Monday, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were called to Rockstar North’s office. The company makes popular video games, including Grand Theft Auto (GTA) and Red Dead Redemption. Seven fire trucks and scores of firefighters rushed to the explosion in Holyrood Road and they cordoned off the building. They worked to secure “structural damage” to the building and left three hours later once the scene was safe. No one was injured and it’s not clear what caused the explosion. But reports have suggested it was caused by an explosion in the boiler room. A spokesperson for the service told the Herald: “We were alerted at 5.02am on Monday, 19 January to attend an incident on Holyrood Road, Edinburgh. “Operations Control mobilised three fire appliances and specialist resources to the scene, where firefighters worked to secure structural damage at a commercial building. “There were no reported casualties and crews left the scene at 9.21am.”
