Police and fire crews are in attendance at a blaze on a Highland industrial estate.
At around 6pm on Thursday, emergency services rushed to Coal industrial estate in Banavie, Fort William.
One man was taken to hospital as a precaution and a number of properties were evacuated.
Residents have been asked to keep their windows and doors shut, and to avoid the area entirely if possible.
A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said: “We received a report of a fire at the industrial estate at around 6pm.
“We have three appliances there at the moment.”
