The roads have since been reopened, according to Royal Gibraltar Police.

There are no reports of any casualties.

The latest incident comes just days after the Hotel Ibis in Malaga was gutted by flames, sparking fears that the doomed building could collapse.

Spanish firefighters have struggled to contain the flames over recent days with four hidden hotspots reactivating since the initial catastrophic inferno struck last week.
