Two people have been treated by the ambulance service after a large fire broke out in a garage near Fort William in the Highlands.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it sent 30 firefighters and seven appliances to Caol Industrial Estate in Banavie at about 18:00.
A number of nearby homes have been evacuated and trains on the West Highland Line have been cancelled as the fire is next to the Fort William signalling centre.
The fire service said crews were expected to remain at the scene into Friday morning to deal with the "protracted incident".
A spokesperson said residents should keep their windows and doors closed due to "large volumes of smoke".
Nearby roads have been closed and drivers should avoid the area.
