A fire at a four-storey terraced building on a busy street in Paisley sparked an emergency response this morning.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said they were called to the incident on Gilmour Street in the town shortly after 5.30am on Monday, April 15.
After receiving the call, the service sent four fire trucks and a high-reach appliance to the fire which was affecting the top floor of the building.
Crews then battled the blaze and have remained in the area to check for any hotspots.
Luckily, no injuries have been reported following the incident.
The images also show the area had been taped off while fire teams dealt with the blaze.
During the incident, police said Gilmour Street was closed between County Square and High Street.
A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were alerted at 5.42am on Monday, April 15, to reports of a building fire on Gilmour Street in Paisley, Glasgow.
“Operations control initially mobilised four appliances including a high reach to the scene where a fire was affecting within the top floor of a four-storey terraced building.
“Crews have now extinguished the fire and our attendance has reduced to two appliances plus a high reach.
“No casualties have been reported and crews remain on scene checking for hotspots.”

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!
