Firefighters spent almost five hours battling a blaze at a tyre factory in Perthshire.

The fire broke out at Gordon Tyres on Ferry Road in Pitlochry at around 10.35pm on Thursday.

Appliances were sent from Dunkeld, Aberfeldy, Pitlochry, Perth and Dundee.

The fire took hold of the single-storey building and quickly spread.

Crews used three main jets to get the flames under control and did not leave the scene until after 4.10am.

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) confirmed no one was injured.

Station manager Alex McCutcheon said: "The crews worked tirelessly in demanding conditions to stop the fire spreading to neighbouring domestic properties and to bring the fire under control.

"SFRS fire investigation team will be at the scene today to carry out a joint investigation with Police Scotland to ascertain the cause of the fire.

"Thankfully, no one was injured."
