Firefighters have tackled a “huge” blaze at a Dundee Industrial estate – which police are treating as suspicious.
Emergency services were called to Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate shortly before 3am on Thursday.
Crews from three different stations were sent to the scene.
Police have confirmed the blaze at the junction of Nobel Road and Arrol Road is being treated as suspicious.
‘Loud boom’ as industrial estate fire took hold
Struan Jennings, 20, a security guard at Asda, saw the fire unfolding.
He told The Courier: “I was driving towards the estate from the Kingsway at around 2.55am when I saw the massive fire coming from the building.
“I drove as close as I could but couldn’t make out exactly what building went on fire.
“I then started taking some photos and set up my camera to start a timelapse video.
“It apparently woke a lot of people up, some who live half-a-mile away.
“I stayed in the area for around half an hour. It was quite a spectacle to watch.
“It looked as though the fire service had managed to extinguish it, however you heard another loud boom and the fire restarted.
“It was very noisy and it smelled quite bad.”
Another onlooker described the fire as “huge” when it first took hold.
There are no reports of any injuries.
It is understood one of the buildings affected is the old JWT (Scotland) Ltd building – also formerly home to Godfreys Technical Textiles – which was damaged in a fire last September.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed crews will be revisiting the site throughout the day.
She said: “We received a report of a fire at the corner of Nobel Road and Arrol Road at 2.50am.
“Firefighters used a hose reel jet at the scene and remain in attendance.
“Crews will be revisiting the site during the day for further inspections.”
Fire ‘suspicious’
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Around 2.55am on Thursday, we received a report of a fire at a building in Nobel Road, Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate, Dundee.
“The fire is being treated as suspicious and inquiries are ongoing.”
