A huge fire has broken out at a warehouse in Bristol.
The Avon Fire and Rescue Service said 16 fire engines were at the scene in Avonmouth just after 2.30pm, going down to eight an hour later.
They advised people who live and work in the area around St Andrews Road to keep windows and doors shut as they tackle the blaze.
People also posted images of clouds of thick black smoke that could be seen for miles around the area, including the M5 and Blaise Castle.
Parcel delivery company Evri confirmed that the fire broke out at its depot, saying all colleagues are safe and the fire has been put out.
"Our main priority has been to ensure that all colleagues are safe, the cause of the fire will be fully investigated in due course," Evri said in a statement.
