Crews spend night tackling huge fire which was visible from Fife

Firefighters have spent the night tackling a huge blaze in Dundee, which sent plumes of smoke across the Tay into Fife.

Crews were called to the scene in the east end of the city at around 8.15pm yesterday.

It is understood the blaze started in a former Wood Group factory unit.

Smoke from the fire could be seen as far away as Leuchars and residents in Newport reported they could smell the burning.

Five fire engines including a height appliance were at the scene and Drumgeith Road - one of the city's busiest - was closed to allow emergency services to get access to the scene.

Two remained at the scene this morning to help with damping down the last of the flames.

The building affected has been disused as a factory since 2007, though it is understood it was being used as a warehouse more recently. In 2015 it was badly damaged in another fire.
