Incredible drone footage shows Glasgow recycling centre gutted by flames and smoke

Incredible drone footage taken from above the Glasgow recycling centre inferno shows a huge amount of damage to the building.

Huge plumes of smoke can be seen billowing in the air as firefighters continue to tackle the fire, which emergency services were called to at around 2.30am this morning.

The video, captured from a distance using zoom by George Allison, then shows a close-up of the structure with flames visible and a huge amount of damage can be seen on the roof and sides of the building.

Firefighters surround the building and are working diligently to put out the flames with one aerial appliance on the main road and another fire crew closer to the flames visible.

The footage then zooms back out and shows Celtic Park and the Emirates Arena in the background, with smoke continuing to pour into the surrounding area in Glasgow's east end.

Surrounding roads remain closed, with Police Scotland in attendance to divert traffic, and no injuries have been reported so far.

A spokesperson said: "Police were called to assist Scottish Fire and Rescue with road closures following a fire on Nuneaton Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow.

"Police and fire remain at the scene and enquiries are continuing."
