A FIRE at a West Dunbartonshire beauty spot sparked an emergency response last night.
Fire crews responded to the scene at Kilpatrick Hills after the alarm was raised at around 9.30pm.
It is understood that it was a grass fire.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze before leaving around 30 minutes later.
Crews revisited the site early this morning to inspect the area.
There are no reported injuries.

"Operations control mobilised one appliance to Garshake Road. Crews left at 10.07pm and revisited to inspect the area at 6.48am on April 26.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
