A LARGE fire has gutted a garage at a Ross-shire industrial estate.
Multiple fire engines from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) were scrambled to Fearn Industrial Estate at 12.17pm following reports of a blaze in one of the buildings on the site.
Eyewitnesses in the area at the time described hearing an "explosion" and feeling the "shudder" of a shockwave.
Two appliances from Invergordon and one from Dornoch initially attended, although they were later joined by another from Golspie and other specialist units.
SFRS were unable to confirm which building was affected, but local reports suggest the affected site was the Fearndrome Garage.
SFRS added that most units left the scene by 3.48pm, although one remained in attendance at the time of writing [at 4.30pm].
