Fire fighters at Inverness petrol station after reports of smoke from pump

Fire crews have been scrambled to a busy supermarket petrol station after reports of smoke coming from a pump.

Two fire appliances from Inverness and a specialist foam tender were dispatched to Tesco supermarket at Inverness Retail Park.

The petrol station was closed off as a precaution, and firefighters were seen using water to cool the affected pump.

However, a fire service spokeswoman said that the call-out had proved not to be as serious as first feared.

She said: “We are standing by at the scene as smoke was seen coming from the pump.

“However, there does not appear to be any sign of a fire.”
