Workers evacuated during fire at Fishers Services linen firm in Perth

Fire crews were called out to a Perth industrial estate last night to deal with a blaze at Fishers Services.

The building, which is on Ruthvenfield Way, was evacuated after the alarm was raised at around 7.20pm.

Nearly 50 members of staff had to leave the building while firefighters tackled the blaze, which is thought to have started in the roof space of the building.

Two fire engines from Perth and one from Dunkeld attended the incident.

Fishers Services is an independent company that supplies linen to the hospitality trade.

The firm was founded in Aberfeldy in 1900.
