More than 100 firefighters practically formed a human shield on each floor of the A-listed building as the inferno took hold.
Senior officers at Cowcaddens Fire Station described how they initially began to search for two people reported missing.
Once it was discovered they were safe, a massive operation to stop the blaze from spreading was mounted.
Assistant Chief Fire Officer David Goodhew said: “It is always difficult fighting a fire in a Grade 1-listed buildings as the priority is always to try and preserve the structure.
“The Art School was always going to present us with a challenge and we knew it would be a hugely complex challenge.
“It is not a building designed with fire safety in mind and the things that make it so attractive, like the wooden panels, offer firefighters a significant challenge."
