Around 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines have been deployed to a major warehouse fire on an industrial estate in Tottenham, with the London Fire Brigade urging local residents to keep their windows and doors shut due to a significant smoke plume rising over the area.
The blaze broke out on Watermead Way on the A1055, on the border of Tottenham and Edmonton in north London. The London Fire Brigade confirmed the scale of the response, which represents one of the larger deployments seen in the capital in recent months.
Residents and workers in the surrounding area have been advised to stay indoors and close all windows and doors as thick smoke billows from the scene. Road closures or restrictions are expected in the vicinity of the fire.
No casualties have been reported at this stage. Warehouse fires of this nature can burn for many hours, and potentially into the following day, depending on the materials stored inside the building.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
