More than 50 firefighters have been tackling a blaze at a pet store in a retail park near a railway line this morning.

Train services were disrupted while emergency services dealt with the incident in Perth.

Firefighters were called to the scene at the Pets at Home store at St Catherines Retail Park at around 2.13am on Saturday.

The fire is now being dampened down and only six appliances are in attendance.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sent 10 fire engines and other specialist appliances to the scene.

ScotRail tweeted that there was some disruption to services for a time as some lines were closed due to the fire, but have since been reopened.

There have been no reports of any injuries and all animals were moved to safe places.
