BREAKING NEWS: Plumes of smoke from Linwood fire can be seen in Paisley

Plumes of black smoke can be seen in the sky across Paisley after a blaze broke out at a yard in Linwood.

Flames are currently coming from inside the yard at the headquarters of waste management firm Enva at Burnbrae Road in Linwood Industrial Estate.

The depot was closed earlier this morning, with lorries from various haulage firms at the estate being turned back.

An onlooker at the scene said: “I could hear workers saying to each other ‘Just go up the road', and lorries from various firms were being turned away from the area.

“More fire engines and police - I assume they were there for traffic management - turned up. And the flames seemed to be getting bigger.”
