A massive blaze at Fife Zoo in Scotland has been brought under control - becoming the second fire to hit the facility in just over a year.
Dramatic photos from the scene showed ferocious flames and smoke billowing from the attraction.
No casualties had been reported, the fire service said.
Four fire engines raced to the zoo after the alarm was raised shortly after 12:32pm on Sunday, the Daily Record reports.
It was reported that fire had damaged a barn, a caravan, and a car, a Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said - adding that firefighters had now brought the blaze under control but remained on site.
It is the second time the zoo has been struck by fire since it opened in 2019.
It comes just over a year on from a devastating fire that ripped through buildings at the zoo after starting in the soft play area.
No animals are thought to have been injured in Sunday's fire, and it is not yet clear how it started.
Fife Zoo said it would be closed for the rest of Sunday owing to an "incident on site".
Last July, the roof of a building caught fire at the zoo, which says it currently houses more than 45 animals from around 15 species including meerkats, lemurs and armadillos.
A spokesperson for the fire service told the Fife Herald earlier: “We were alerted at 12.32pm on Sunday, July 18 to reports of a building fire at Birniefield, Collessie, in Fife.
“Operations control mobilised four appliances to the scene where a fire was affecting a barn, a caravan and a car.
“There are no reported casualties at this time, crews remain in attendance.”

The blaze has struck on one of the hottest weekends of the year for Scotland.
Temperatures across Central, Tayside and Fife were forecast to reach as high as 24C on Sunday.
No animals were hurt when fire wrecked the zoo's soft play area last July.
The local community rushed to the zoo's aid, raising money, offering electrician experties and water supplies.
Bosses thanked locals for rallying around the zoo following the blaze, that struck just days before it was due to reopen.
Briony Taylor, originally from Wales, and her boyfriend Michael Knight from Essex, bought the former Fife Animal Park in 2015 with help from Michael’s parents Ann and Reginald.
It reopened in 2019 to become a thriving visitor attraction.
