Recycling company Enva has released a statement following a fire last night in Linwood.
As the Glasgow Times reported earlier, a huge fire broke out on Burnbrae Road as 999 crews rushed to the scene just after 9pm.
Residents in Renfrewshire and some parts of Glasgow noticed huge plumes of smoke in the sky, and nearby roads and paths were closed as firefighters, police and SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) officials work to make the area safe.
Now, Enva, a recycling company based within Linwood Industrial Estate, where the incident took place, has released a statement.
The firm confirmed that the fire took place at their WEEE Solutions e-waste facility and said emergency services are still on site.

"There have been no injuries and the cause of the fire will be the subject of an immediate and thorough investigation.
"We will be contacting any customers impacted as soon as possible to ensure continuity of service.
"Our Linwood general waste recycling facility, whilst unaffected by the fire, will remain closed until the emergency services’ cordon is lifted and operational responsibility for the site is returned to Enva.
"We would like to thank the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the police for their extremely prompt and professional response."
