Nearly 100 people evacuated as huge late-night fire rips through estate in London

Nearly 100 people have been evacuated as a huge late-night fire ripped through an industrial estate in London.

Dozens of fire engines and over 100 firefighters have been sent to the site on Oxgate Lane in Brent to tackle the blaze.

The London Fire Brigade has advised residents near the area to close all doors and windows as huge pillars of black smoke fills the sky.

"Twenty-five fire engines and around 150 firefighters, along with four turntable ladders, have now been mobilised to the warehouse fire in Brent," the emergency responders said on social media.

Over 60 calls have been made to emergency services in response to the fire, which was first reported at 9.14pm.

Oxgate Lane is now completely closed to traffic, the London Fire Brigade has said.

Four of the brigade's turntable ladders have also been deployed to the scene, with a "High Volume pump" and a "Hose Layer" being used to combat the inferno.
