Fire crews have been battling a 'large' blaze in Glasgow overnight.
Crews were at the scene in Drumchapel's Dalsettar Drive just after midnight on Friday, where a pile of tyres is thought to have caught fire.
Residents in the area have been asked by police to keep their windows shut due to the large amount of smoke coming from the blaze.
Drumchapel Community Council updated locals, and urged people to avoid the scene.
They wrote: "This does not just put our emergency services at risk but also the grounds and buildings around about.
"Please stay safe and avoid the area if possible.
"Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are on the scene at present."
Police say no residential properties are at risk, and have now advised of any injuries.
They said: "The Scottish Fire & Rescue Service are dealing with a large fire in the area of Dalsetter Drive, Glasgow.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
