Multiple fire crews are in attendance at a fire on an Aberdeen nature reserve that broke out earlier on Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to Donmouth Nature Reserve in Bridge of Don on the northern edge of the Granite City shortly before 6pm. Images and videos shared on social media show the fire taking hold among the dunes on the reserve, which is known for its waterfowl and seals.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service initially sent two appliances to the fire, but has since escalated the incident and sent a further three, as well as specialist units. Community news page Fubar News has urged locals to close their windows and doors after claiming residents were being blighted with smoke.
