Fire crews raced to tackle a rubbish blaze in a communal area of a Scots block of flats.
Firefighters and police were called to the scene at the block in Windmill Street, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire earlier after reports of waste ablaze in the back garden of a block of flats.
It is unclear at this time if the fire had been set deliberately.
Dramatic pictures shows a firefighter smashing down the front door of one of the buildings - which are understood to be abandoned.
A video obtained by the Record shows a firefighter spraying the rubbish fire with water as a crowd gathered on the street to watch the drama unfold.
White smoke rises into the air in the video.
A source on the scene told the Daily Record: :"It looks like debris set alight, fireman knocked down the door but flats are abandoned I think."
It's understood nobody has been injured in the fire which was tackled quickly by crews on the street.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "A quantity of refuse was on fire.
"One appliance was sent from Peterhead at 2.40pm with the stop message coming back at 3.03pm."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We were made aware at 2.55pm but was dealt with by the fire service."
