Firefighters have spent days tackling a blaze at a veterinary school.
The fire broke out at University of Bristol's vets building, in Langford, on Friday, causing smoke to billow high up into the air.
About 25 firefighters were sent in four fire engines shortly before 2.30pm.
Four days on and crews are still allowing the remaining bits to smoulder.

It said: "A University of Bristol owned hay barn caught fire at the Langford campus.
"The barn is at the bottom of an agricultural track, away from the main buildings.
