Fire crews extinguish blaze at Scottish Christmas tree farm

Fire crews have extinguished a blaze at a Christmas tree farm in Dundee.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) were called out to the Tayside Forestry farm, outside Dundee, at 7:11pm on Saturday.

Video shared online showed smoke billowing from a massive fire on the site.

Four fire engines were despatched, as well as a special “high-reach appliance”.

There were no reports of any casualties.

The SFRS confirmed that the response had been scaled back to just one appliance by Sunday afternoon, as firefighters monitored the area to prevent reignition.

A road was closed while the fire was dealt with and locals in the area were warned they should keep windows and doors shut to avoid smoke inhalation.

One fire engine was kept at the scene overnight on Sunday.
