The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) are urging residents in and around a fire at an electrical and battery recycling treatment facility at Linwood Industrial Estate to remain indoors with windows and doors shut.
Six appliances and two height vehicles remain at the scene as crews work to extinguish the fire.
There are no reported casualties.
At its height, ten fire appliances were mobilised to the scene after the alarm was raised at 9.12pm on Sunday to reports of a fire in a commercial building on Burnbrae Road, Linwood.
Local residents in the area are advised to stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed.
