A huge blaze has engulfed a football stadium after a fire erupted in the stands.
Around five engines were dispatched to Exeter City FC this evening just after 10pm.
Footage of the inferno shows plumes of black smoke with bright orange and red flames leaping from the scene.
The blaze is ongoing, though Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service say they have now scaled back the response, with three engines remaining at the site.
There have not yet been any reports of injuries and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
A spokesman for the service told the Daily Mail firefighters were now using fans to extinguish the flames.
Witnesses can be heard describing in a recording of the fire how they had ‘smelt smoke’ and could ‘hear an alarm’.
