(about 3 hours later) | |
A serious fire at a warehouse in west London required more than 100 firefighters to bring it under control. | |
The blaze in Wadsworth Road, Perivale, began just before 19:00 BST on Saturday. | |
As flames tore through the two-storey building, a 50m by 20m structure of mixed industrial units, plumes of thick black smoke were visible across London. | |
About 30 people were evacuated from the warehouse but there are no reports of any injuries. | |
People living nearby were advised to close windows and doors due to large amounts of smoke produced. | |
The fire was brought under control shortly before midnight, the London Fire Brigade said. | |
The cause of the blaze is not yet known. | |
Vinesh Pomal, 28, who lives nearby, said the fire looked to have "spread to the entire building". | |
"I can see flames, debris and thick black smoke is just billowing out now as the whole building is on fire. It's just getting worse. I can see the heat from my bedroom window which is quite scary," he said. | "I can see flames, debris and thick black smoke is just billowing out now as the whole building is on fire.

"I have never seen so much drama in Perivale before. I have friends from east London messaging me saying they can see it. It's put Perivale on the map for all the wrong reasons." | "I have never seen so much drama in Perivale before. I have friends from east London messaging me saying they can see it.
