Black smoke can be seen billowing out across Avonmouth after a blaze erupted in a garden.

Firefighters from Southmead and Avonmouth attended the incident.

They used two high pressured hose reels to tackle the flames.

An Avon Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "We were called to a large fire in a rear garden.

"Three crews attended. They used two breathing apparatus and high pressured hose reels.

"Crews are still investigating."

Earlier today, Seabank Power Station caused a stir after releasing a steam from its cooling towers which people mistakenly took for a fire.
