Revellers were evacuated from a city gig venue after smelling smoke and burning plastic.
Music fans enjoying the Erasure concert at Glasgow's O2 Academy near Bridge Street were asked to leave the venue amid concerns about a blaze.
A faulty air conditioning unit is thought to be the cause of the emergency, with many gig-goers taking to social media to share their concerns.
Emergency services were called to the venue around 9.15pm tonight, to reports of smoke coming from the venue.
The situation has now been resolved, and fans have been allowed back inside.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue service spokeswoman said: "We were called around 9.13pm tonight, and we sent three pumps and an aerial vehicle to the scene. It has now been resolved."
