LOCALS have been urged to stay indoors as a massive fire engulfed a scrap metal yard in Possilpark.
Flames ripped through the BM Metals yard in Balmore Road at around 8.20pm.
Within minutes the roof had been destroyed and a smell of acrid smell wafted across the area.
It led to the closure of Balmore Road Sunnylaw Street, Saracen Street, Allander Street and Panmure Street.
A police spokeswoman said: “The best thing local people can do is stay indoors and keep their windows closed.”
