Hillingdon storage unit blaze tackled by 70 firefighters
FIREFIGHTERS tackled a large blaze at a storage unit in Pield Heath Road, Hillingdon, last night (10).
Two single-storey units and two containers were alight. There are no reports of any injuries.
Station Commander Clive Robinson, who was at the scene, said: "There was a lot of smoke, so we advised nearby residents to keep their doors and windows closed."
Control took 18 calls about the blaze.
The brigade was called at 7.13pm and the fire was under control by 11.52, but crews remained on scene damping down.
Ten fire engines and around 70 crew from Hillingdon, Hayes, Heathrow, Southall, Ruislip, Harrow and surrounding stations were at the scene.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
