Fire crews tackle building blaze next to M8

Firefighters have tackled a blaze which broke out at a commercial building in Glasgow early on Thursday morning.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) sent nine appliances and two high reach vehicles to a single-storey storage unit on Stanley Street at about 06:45.

Smoke from the Kinning Park industrial estate was sent billowing across the M8 motorway at rush hour.

Police closed Milnpark Street at the Admiral Street and Portman Street junctions while crews battled the flames.

The SFRS said they had made progress in tackling the fire and had scaled back their response to two appliances, an aerial vehicle and specialist equipment remaining at the scene.

The spokesperson said: "There are no casualties, and crews remain on scene.

"Members of the public are advised to stay away from Stanley Street and Milne Park Street, which remain closed, and residents should continue to keep windows and doors closed to avoid smoke inhalation."

Earlier, drivers using the stretch of the M8 motorway nearby were advised to take extra care because of smoke from the blaze.
