It's been hours since the fire began and it's continuing to rage through the White Hart Lane industrial park, engulfing buildings - each belonging to local businesses - one by one.
One fireman I spoke to said he expected it to take a day and a half for the blaze to completely burn out.
Nearby streets initially filled with anxious local residents and people trying to take photos of the flames, some of which were licking the skies up to 20-30 metres above the buildings.
They were told to leave as they were blocking key evacuation routes for residents. Luckily so far, these have not been needed.
