CLOUDS of smoke have covered the sky due to an ongoing fire.
Firefighters are in attendance at a blaze at Linwood Industrial Estate.
It is believed the fire is nearby the Enva recycling plant and Malcolm Logistics on Burnbrae Road.
But it has not been confirmed where it started.
Ten fire engines were sent to the scene after reports were made at around 9.30pm.
The dark smoke can be seen across Renfrewshire and in parts of Glasgow.

Someone wrote: “Spare a thought for the firefighters who are in for a very tough night.”
Another person added: "It’s a weird smell, not burning, hope it’s not toxic. I’ve been sitting out having cigs and at the beginning, I thought it was fireworks then the smoke was coming over the golfie. I just pray no one was injured."
