Hazmat-clad firefighters raced to a harbour in a Scots town on Wednesday morning after nine people fell unwell.
Crews kitted out in luminous yellow protective outfits joined police and paramedics this morning at a premises near Montrose docks.
Three fire engines were spotted at the scene and locked down several roads.
Paramedics treated the casualties at the scene – however, they did not require hospital treatment and their condition is unknown.
It is currently unclear exactly what sparked the emergency response.
