Firefighters from across Bristol are tackling a blaze on the city's harbourside today (August 26).

The Avon Fire and Rescue Service first revealed they were dealing with the incident at 10:46am this morning, urging people to avoid the area around Canons Way, which is right by Millennium Square.

We have since been told crews from Temple, Bedminster, Avonmouth, Southmead, Kingswood, Hicks Gate and Pill are on the scene, as footage shared online shows black smoke billowing from a building.

Thankfully, everyone has been safely evacuated and there are no casualties.

This is an ongoing incident and we expect more updates throughout the day.
