More than 30 firefighters are battling a large fire that has ripped through a disused church in Dundee.

Crews were called out to the blaze at Old and St Luke's Church in Lochee at around 9pm on Monday.

Nearby residents have been evacuated from their homes and are currently sheltering at Sinclair Street housing office until their properties are deemed safe.

Six fire engines went out to the scene of the fire on Methven Street, in the west of the city.

There are not yet any reports that anyone has been injured as a result of the fire.

A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said their operation was "ongoing" and that the building remained well-alight.

The church was built in 1830 but is now vacant.
