A warehouse blaze has been brought under control after causing havoc in a Perth industrial area on Friday night.
A business in Osborne Park, understood to be a smash auto repair shop, caught alight around 5.40pm.
Black smoke was billowing from the building near the intersection of Howe and King Edward Street.
At least five firefighting trucks were on the scene with firefighters rushing into the building with hoses.
The fire was contained and under control just after 8pm

Earlier, people were warned the smoke, blowing towards Stephenson Avenue, could be potentially dangerous with the warehouse containing hazardous materials.
Those in the area were urged to stay out of the fumes and keep windows and doors shut.
The area is now all clear with firefighters still at the property as they clean up.
