iStockFirefighters are tackling an open grass blaze first thing on Monday morning after receiving a large number of calls.
Crews from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) were called to an open grass fire affecting land on Shore Road in Innellan, south of Dunoon.
Firefighters attended around 2.30pm on Sunday and were working to extinguish the fire throughout the evening.
However, due to low lighting, crews left the scene and returned at 6am on Monday with one appliance still in attendance.
The SFRS urged members of the public not to alert their control room about the fire as they had already received a large number of calls.
An SFRS statement read: “We are aware of an open grass fire affecting an area of land on Shore Road in Innellan (south of Dunoon).
“We were called to the area at 2.30pm today and crews have been working to extinguish the fire.
“Due to low lighting, crews have left the scene and will reattend at 6am tomorrow morning.
“Members of the public no longer need to alert our Operations Control room about this fire as we are receiving a large number of calls.”
