Ten people have died and seven are being treated in hospital following a Fire at a nursing home.
Firefighters were called to Rosepark Care Home in Uddingston, near Glasgow, at 4:37 am on Saturday.
Emergency crews said an "intense" fire broke out in a top floor cupboard in the home and generated a lot of Smoke.
About 23 or 24 residents who were in the privately-run home at the time and were unhurt have been moved to another home nearby.
The Scottish Ambulance Service said 10 people had died at the scene.
Ten people were thought to have been taken to hospital immediately after the fire and seven were still undergoing treatment.
Casualties were taken to Monklands Hospital, Wishaw General Hospital and Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Police said three were critically ill.
Chief Superintendent Tom Buchan said: "About 4:40 this morning we first received information that there had been a fire at Rosepark Nursing Home and in attendance were fire and police officers.
"Unfortunately we discovered there had been a significant number of fatalities."
He told reporters: "There is cause for concern for at least one person in hospital, bearing in mind these are elderly people.
"It was not as you would call a significant fire in the sense the premises were destroyed.
"There is in fact very little damage."
Mr Buchan said an incident room has been set up and officers were offering assistance to concerned relatives.
A dedicated helpline set up for friends and families of residents at the privately-run home has already received more than 300 calls.
Alan Forbes, of Strathclyde Fire Brigade, said: "Firefighters discovered a small but intense fire in one of the wings, which is quite a new building, a purpose-built care home, which opened in 1992.
"Over 40 firefighters assisted ambulance crews in getting casualties out of the building and into the ambulances."
