A massive fire destroyed an Aberdeen flat tonight and left dozens of shaken residents evacuated from their damaged homes.
Neighbours described seeing flames shooting through the windows of a top floor flat on Richmond Street, in the Rosemount area, at about 5.45pm.
More than 20 firefighters were scrambled to the scene as neighbours banged on the doors of those living nearby and hurried them from their properties.
It is understood that the man who lives in the blaze-hit flat was seen leaving wrapped in a blanket.
A spokeswoman for the fire service said the blaze was brought under control shortly after 7pm, and that there were no casualties.
One woman, who lives in the flat beneath the one where the fire broke out, heard shouting from outside as people noticed the flames and called for her and others to flee their homes.

Police have closed a number of roads whilst fire crews attend the fire.
