Ok, the property inclusive of gas bottles is that of the previous tenant. Procedure is to correspond with the tenant and ask them to dispose of such property. If they fail to comply with this then they face being billed by the landlord if having to do this for them. So, until something can be produced that says the landlord had taken on responsibility for the disposal of shed, gas bottles, and everything else, then the fault lies with the previous tenant who may actually face a fine for this?
A tenant who erects out buildings in their garden can be fined if they fail to dismantle and take the outbuildings with them - No different from that shed on rented land and everything within it, or on that land. Still a caravan that the night watchman used to use there also?
The fire was deemed to not be arson - Something ignited and caused that shed to combust all at once, indicative of leaking gas perhaps over a period of time into a contained area? Certainly the locals speak of the whole thing ablaze at once?
So, perhaps Ms Lean can give people the full run down on who was supposed to deal with the shed, caravan, gas bottles and any other property? Was CM supposed to dispose and remove this and failed, or was she being billed by the landlord for them having to arrange this? In brief, was there an agreement in place? - Then a fire destroys the lot??
Extremely lucky that NO one was hurt, not the emergency services, nor some unlucky youngsters should they have taken the notion to wander in there before it went boom? - What does one imagine would have happened then? Would it be the owner of the property or the landlord to be held liable? - Just a thought.

Shock video shows huge fire at caravan site once owned by evil killer Luke Mitchell’s mum‘Video captured by local Mags Wilson shows the flames crackling in the dark night sky as citizens stand across the road from the mayhem unfolding, which all happened shortly after 7:30pm.
Gas canisters can be heard exploding in the video as the heat of the fire intensifies, sending plumes of smoke which were seen billowing as far as Edinburgh.
With concerns growing that the blaze may spill over to the petrol station across the road, Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service rushed to the scene.
Scottish Fire and Rescue eventually opted to utilise a large mechanical ladder to fight the blaze from above and eventually managed to bring the three-hour-long fire under control.
Police have now confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances involved.
Speaking today Mags said: “I was standing opposite and was filming as it happened, it was once the office where Corrine Mitchell lived for a few years after Luke was convicted.
“
It was used as a caravan park and I believe she still owned the premises.
“I was very worried that the fire might spread across to the petrol station, eventually they [Scottish Fire and Rescue] brought in this massive ladder to tackle it.
“The police were just moving people back to keep them away from the fire and it was extremely lucky that nobody was hurt.”
Speaking today a Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Following enquiries into a fire at a disused building on Mayfield Road, Dalkeith, on the evening of Friday 17 March 2023, we can confirm that there were no suspicious circumstances.”
