A raging warehouse fire is blowing potentially hazardous smoke across parts of Balcatta.
Firefighters were called to the incident on Stretton Place about 7.20pm on Tuesday.
Flames soaring tens of metres high can be seen from the front of the warehouse.
Firefighters were using a crane at 8.30pm to try to control the blaze.
The Department of Fire and Emergency services issued a HAZMAT warning for people in the immediate vicinity as DFES tried to determine what materials were burning.
The smoke is blowing in a northerly direction with Main Roads also cautioning drivers as smoke is over the road on the Mitchell Freeway southbound between Reid Highway and Erindale Road.
Large smoke plumes could be seen billowing from the warehouse from kilometres away.
More to come.
