Firefighters are attending a large fire at an Evri warehouse on Boundary Road in Avonmouth this afternoon (16th April).
Avon Fire and Rescue say have sixteen fire engines on the scene.
The fire service said in a statement: "We currently have 16 appliances in attendance at a warehouse fire in Avonmouth. If you live and work in the local area, we’d advise you to keep your windows and doors shut."
Evri have said in a statement: "Fire services attended a fire at our Avonmouth depot earlier today, all colleagues on site are safe and the fire has now been put out.
"Our main priority has been to ensure that all colleagues are safe, the cause of the fire will be fully investigated in due course.
"There were very few parcels at the site at the time with the vast majority of outbound deliveries having left the building.
"We have quickly made plans for alternative arrangements to minimise disruption to deliveries taking place over the next few days."
