Firefighters tackle blaze at Dundee industrial estate

A massive fire engulfed a waste management facility in West Gourdie Industrial Estate.

Flames broke out among the general waste inside a large shed at the JD Laing’s facility at around 3.20 on Tuesday, causing a large fire and gas canisters to explode.

None of the 11 workers at the site were injured in the dramatic incident, which took three appliances around an hour to get under control.

Smoke continued to billow out of the shed for several hours.

One onlooker said: “It was really frightening. You could really hear the canisters exploding.”
