Fire crews remain at the scene of a blaze at a North Ayrshire recycling centre for the fourth day.
Around 40 firefighters were mobilised to the fire at Fenix Battery Recycling Plant on Byrehill Place in Kilwinning, at 10.05pm on Monday night.
About six fire engines were sent to the hub while police advised neighbours to stay indoors and keep their windows and doors closed as a precaution.
On Wednesday, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) warned of a possible increase in smoke from the site through “increased activity” in an attempt to fully extinguish the blaze and warned residents not to be alarmed.
Work began on Thursday to “dampen down” the scene and, on Friday afternoon, one fire engine remained at the site.
A spokesperson for SFRS said: “We have one appliance in attendance. It is just dampening down and monitoring the temperatures.”
