Firefighters have now left the scene of a house fire in the Newmachar area.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was first notified about the blaze at 1.01pm this afternoon.
Four appliances from Aberdeen Central and Oldmeldrum were sent to Mameulah Road alongside an aerial appliance.
Firefighters deployed the use of four hose reel jets, one main jet and one covering jet to extinguish the flames.
Two thermal imaging cameras and six breathing apparatus were also used by crews at the scene.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman confirmed that the last fire appliance left the scene at 5:21pm.
Video footage published on Fubar News showed large plumes of black smoke rising from the residential area in the Aberdeenshire village.
