Firefighters rushed to tackle a chimney fire above a Perth restaurant on Thursday.
Three appliances were on the High Street at around 7pm, after smoke was seen billowing from a roof space above Breizh restaurant.
Crews used a height appliance at the scene as a small cordon was erected near to the French eatery.
One onlooker said there was a strong odour as thick smoke began to filter from the chimney.
She said: “I was pulling into High Street and saw one fire engine parked up at the bottom of George Street.
“Someone told me smoke started coming out of the chimney really thick and a lot of it.
“Then all of a sudden two other appliances arrived.
“I don’t think they knew what was on fire at first.
“The smoke was billowing out of the chimney and it smelt really bad.”
