Fire crews rushed to tackle a serious blaze at a four-storey building in Dundee city centre, with four appliances called to the scene.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service crews were deployed in force to deal with the incident, which sparked significant concern given the scale of the building involved and its location in the heart of the city.
Four fire engines attended the scene as crews worked to bring the blaze under control. The response reflects standard procedure for a multi-storey building fire, where the risk of the fire spreading quickly between floors means a larger crew presence is essential from the outset.
Dundee city centre was affected by the emergency response, with residents and passersby likely to have noticed the significant presence of fire appliances in the area.
Details surrounding the cause of the fire and whether anyone was inside the building at the time have not yet been confirmed. It also remains unclear whether any injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service crews continued working at the scene as the situation developed. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available from the attending crews and emergency services.
