A huge fire has broken out at a west London warehouse with 150 firefighters tackling the blaze.
London Fire Brigade was called to the incident at Middlesex Business Park on Bridge Road in Southall at 8.55am, with crews from Southall, Heston, Ealing and surrounding stations sent to the scene in 25 fire engines.
The inferno erupted in a two-storey building made up of a warehouse and retail space.
Around three-quarters of the structure was alight earlier, but it is now understood the entire building is ‘fully alight, internally and externally’.
Three of the Brigade turntable ladders have been deployed to scene, allowing crews to fight the fire from height, the LFB said.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown and the LFB confirmed there have been no injuries reported so far.
