Fire crews tackle blaze at Scots 'dog training centre' as thick black smoke spotted pouring from scene
Fire crews have been tackling a blaze at a dog training centre in a Scots town.
Emergency services raced to Cameron Street in Coatbridge earlier today to battle flames. Footage taken by a shocked onlooker shows thick black smoke billowing into the sky.
It is understood that the fire took hold of a dog training centre within the Northburn Industrial Estate. It was first feared the fire was linked to two chemical spills that sparked a major emergency response earlier this month. However, fire chiefs confirmed the incident is not related.
