MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Nearly 120 firefighters were involved in fire extinguishing at a warehouse in Perivale in north-western London, the local fire brigade said Saturday.
"Crews are working very hard is difficult conditions. Firefighters are using aerial ladder platforms to tackle the fire from numerous vantage points and ensure the blaze doesn’t spread to neighbouring warehouses," Station Manager Jeff Lisle was quoted as saying in a press release on the London Fire Brigade’s website.
"While we are making excellent progress, we expect to work on this fire into the night," Lisle stressed.
At least 20 fire engines have already arrived at the scene, according to the press release.
About 30 people were evacuated from a building amid the fire. Luckily, there were no reports of any injuries caused by the blaze at the two-storey building.
The reason of the fire is still unclear.
