FIREFIGHTERS tackled a huge blaze at the Evri parcel warehouse in Avonmouth this afternoon.
Avon Fire and Rescue Service was called to the site in Boundary Road at 1.29pm and sent 16 appliances to the scene.
The large fire at the warehouse site saw 40 firefighters attend and prompted a warning for local residents to shut all windows and doors.
Images show a huge cloud of black smoke and flames coming from the scene at Avonmouth that was visible from the M5 motorway.
A spokesperson from Evri said the blaze had been put out by 4pm and confirmed no-one was injured.
The company said the majority of its parcels for the day were already out for delivery and its "main priority was ensuring colleagues were safe".
The spokesperson said: "There were very few parcels at the site at the time with the vast majority of outbound deliveries having left the building.
"We have quickly made plans for alternative arrangements to minimise disruption to deliveries taking place over the next few days."
Avon and Somerset Police also attended the incident to control traffic.
The parcel depot, located at the Access 18 industrial estate, is around seven miles from the centre of Bristol.
