SHOCKING images have emerged of the devastation left by a massive blaze at a Scots industrial estate.
Emergency crews were scrambled to Houston Industrial Estate in Livingston this morning as the fire broke out.
Six fire engines and a specialist height appliance were scrambled to the scene.
The building was quickly evacuated as the inferno took hold.
A huge plume of black smoke was seen billowing as the building was destroyed by flames.
Orange flames engulfed the roof as the fire continued to roar.
Fire crews are still on the scene of the incident, more than ten hours after being called.
New drone images from above the fire scene have now shown the devastation left behind.
The entire roof and some walls of the building have collapsed.
Firefighters were scattered around the edge of the destroyed structure continuing to fight the remaining flames.
White smoke was seen rising from the burned-down building.
The fire appeared to have spread to vehicles at the side of the business, with fire crews tackling fires from motors engulfed in flames.
