BBC East reporter Kim Riley | |
I'm some distance from the giant warehouse because security staff are blocking the road leading to the building. | |
No-one from the media has been allowed through, so it's difficult to tell exactly what has happened. | |
Police and fire crews are next to the building and ambulances are parked up behind. | |
I understand emergency crews are working to remove fallen shelving and most staff were sent home yesterday. | |
There's no update on any casualty, but we are hopeful of more information from Culina Logistics later. |
