A woman has been taken to hospital after a late-night blaze at a flat in Dundee.
Smoke was seen billowing from an address on Rankine Street just before 11.30pm on Thursday.
Firefighters spent about an hour at the scene.
An ambulance was also called and the woman was taken to Ninewells Hospital as a precaution.
The road was blocked while emergency services dealt with the incident.
One driver who was passing the scene said: “It was a sea of flashing blue lights when I was coming down Gardner Street.
“Rankine Street is tight at the best of times but with the fire appliances there the road was essentially closed.
“As I drove along Inverary Terrace, the smoke was belching from the back of the flats.
“Paramedics were at the scene – I just hope no one was seriously hurt.”
