A huge fire has broken out at an Evri depot in Avonmouth, with smoke seen billowing out of the warehouse.
Footage on social media of the scene shows black acrid smoke coming from the delivery company’s distribution centre near Bristol, with a vehicle also on fire.
In a tweet, Avon Fire and Rescue Service said: “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.”
While it is currently unknown when the blaze broke out, a video posted on X shows the warehouse, which is located on Boundary Road, in flames at 1.35pm.
Heavy traffic is also building along both directions of the A403 St Andrew’s Road due to smoke billowing across the road from the warehouse.
The Independent have approached Evri for comment.
