Fire can be seen from Largs seafront (Image: Picture supplied)
Scottish Fire and Rescue are currently attending a blaze in the back hills to Largs.
Billowing smoke can be seen from the seafront and as far as the Isle of Cumbrae as fire crews rush to the scene this evening.
Scottish Fire and Rescue have confirmed that they are currently attending the scene near a Scottish Water dam on the back hills, near Bellsdale Avenue.
They received the call at 5.55pm - and another fire appliance is on its way.
Due to the winds the plumes of smoke are travelling as far as the town centre.
A local businessman told the News that the Main Street is 'full of smoke'.
Thank you to Chris Boyd and Todd Ferguson for the photos.
