Croydon warehouse fire: 80 firefighters battle huge blaze as area locked down

Around 80 firefighters battled a major warehouse blaze in south London on Sunday morning.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said 12 fire engines were called to Imperial Way in Croydon shortly after 6:30am.

Crews from Croydon, Purley, Norbury, Addington, and Mitcham fire stations attended the scene, where part of a single-storey warehouse and an attached office block were alight.

Imperial Way was closed while firefighters tackled the flames, using one of the Brigade's 32-metre turntable ladders to provide an aerial view of the incident.

The fire was brought under control by 10.50am. Its cause is now under investigation.
