The fire in Brent - (LFB)

Around 150 firefighters tackled a huge blaze in north London last night after a warehouse caught fire.

The London Fire Brigade evacuated around 70 Brent residents as a precaution as they worked to bring it under control.

An LFB statement said most of the two-storey warehouse in a business park on Oxgate Lane was ablaze.

The roof of the building was alight and people living nearby were advised to keep doors and windows closed as a “significant” amount of smoke was produced.

No injuries were reported and the fire brigade said the blaze was under control at 6am on Friday.

The LFB said around 150 firefighters were at the scene with 25 engines from Hendon, Willesden, West Hampstead and surrounding fire stations after more than 70 calls reported the fire.

Firefighters were using four turntable ladders and a high-volume pump to tackle the fire.

Edgware Road was closed between the junctions of Dollis Hill and Staples Corner, with Oxgate Lane shut to traffic.

The fire on Oxgate Lane, Brent, is now under control.

Crews have worked hard over night to contain the flames, and will continue through the morning to extinguish the remaining pockets of fire.
