Firefighters are tackling an underground fire below a street in Nairn.
Two local fire crews have been at the scene for over an hour after smoke was spotted billowing from beneath an access pit on Church Street, near Specsavers at the junction with the High Street.
Parts of the High Street and Church Street are cordoned off.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said efforts to extinguish the flames were continuing.
He said: “We were alerted to reports of a fire at the location at 11.12 am today and remain in attendance. The smoke was coming from a self-contained access pit.”
It is understood there has been no evacuation of buildings nearby, although the SFRS spokesman could not confirm this.
