Firefighters have reported "multiple casualties" after they attended a fire in Glasgow.

Four fire engines were sent after reports of a fire on the ground floor of a four-storey building on Copland Road in the Ibrox area just after 17:00.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said casualties were passed into the care of paramedics, but gave no further details of their condition.

The Scottish Ambulance Service and Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.

A section of Paisley Road West was closed while fire crews tackled the fire.

One image from the scene showed a firefighter up a ladder while at least two residents looked out from a first floor window.

An SFRS spokesperson said: "We were alerted at 17:06 on Friday 13 November to reports of a dwelling fire on Copland Road, Glasgow.

"Operations Control mobilised four appliances to the scene, where firefighters are working to extinguish the fire affecting the ground floor of a four-storey building.

"Multiple casualties were handed into the care of the Scottish Ambulance Service.

The fire service later confirmed that all fire engines had left the scene.
