Overview
- The fire broke out late on 2 February at the former Forum site on West Road in Irvine, which includes the Irvine No1 Celtic Supporters Club and is attached to the Rivergate Shopping Centre.
- Scottish Fire and Rescue Service initially deployed six engines and two high‑reach appliances after the first 23:34 call, later scaling back before the operation was stood down.
- Police Scotland said the blaze is being treated as wilful and enquiries are ongoing to establish who was responsible.
- No injuries have been reported, and photos show the club’s roof collapsed with extensive fire damage and charring.
- Rivergate Shopping Centre, closed during the response, has reopened for public access, though a small number of shops stayed shut for part of Tuesday.
