Watch as blaze engulfs Renfrewshire industrial estate
Fire fighters are tackling a blaze at an industrial estate near Paisley in Renfrewshire.
Residents called the emergency services at about 21:00 on Sunday after hearing loud explosions.
Ten fire appliances were understood to be in attendance at Linwood Industrial Estate in Elderslie.
A large plume of smoke could be seen drifting from the site towards the north of Glasgow.
The industrial area is less than four miles from Glasgow Airport. A spokesman said flights were not being affected by smoke from the fire.

There have not been any reports of casualties in the incident.
An eyewitness told BBC Scotland News she had at first thought the explosions had been people letting off fireworks while Scotland were playing Hungary in the Euros.
She added: "But then we looked out the window and saw this huge plume of smoke just drifting over from Johnstone, Elderslie towards Paisley.
"I went outside, had a look and just saw that clearly something had gone on fire in a pretty major way.
"Then there was about thirty minutes of just near continuous explosions. It did sound like guns going off or fireworks or something like that."
