Fire crews have raced to a huge blaze at a harbour in Aberdeenshire.
Emergency services were called to Peterhead Harbour after the alarm was raised at around 5.40pm on Tuesday. The Scottish Fire and Recue Service said they were alerted to the incident on Farmer’s Lane.
The fire is affecting a sign-making business in the Aberdeenshire town, which has been closed until further notice. Images from the scene show the building engulfed in flames with smoke seen billowing up into the sky.
The fire service said: “Seven appliances and a high-reach vehicle are currently at the scene of an incident on Farmer’s Lane, Peterhead. “Firefighters are working to extinguish a fire affecting a commercial building.
“We were alerted at 5.38pm on Tuesday, March 10. There are no reported casualties, and members of the public are asked to avoid the area.”
A sign-making company called Imagineering, which has been open since 2005, said it was shut because of the fire. A post on social media said: “Due to an ongoing fire at our premises we will be closed until further notice.”
North East Radio also posted on social media, saying they were off air as the power was out in the area.
