Shortly before 8pm the spokesman said the incident was under control and the firefighting operation had been scaled back to just two appliances.
People on Facebook reported that the McArthur Glen centre had been evacuated, while cars arriving had been turned away.
However, a spokeswoman for the centre said at 8pm that ‘everything was fine’ and ‘everything was under control’.
