London Bangla A Force for the community…
MORE THAN 120 firefighters have spent the day tackling a massive blaze in a warehouse in New Road, Rainham. The fire was spotted at around 10.20am and was brought under control by 3pm.
The warehouse is believed to be a distribution centre for steel components. The blaze engulfed the building, sending thick black smoke across the area and the fire brigade had to warn residents to stay indoors and close their doors and windows. Traffic was also affected as New Road, a major road in the area, was closed, along with smaller roads.
Around 125 firefighters from stations in Wennington, Dagenham and Barking brought 20 fire engines to the site. Two 32-metre turntable ladders were also drafted in to fight the fire from above. There are no reports of any injuries.
