Tottenham fire: Warehouse blaze creates huge smoke plume

A fire has ripped through a warehouse, sending huge plumes of black smoke into the sky in north London.

About 100 firefighters are tackling the blaze at what is thought to be a furniture store in Garman Road, Tottenham, which broke out at about 00:20 BST.

Mike Cotton, from London Fire Brigade, said "a huge amount of thick black smoke" was travelling for miles.

Residents have been urged to keep doors and windows closed.

Mr Cotton, who confirmed there were no injuries, said that when crews from Tottenham and Edmonton arrived they "found a developed fire and they called for reinforcements".

"We currently have 15 appliances attending this fire along with aerial appliances and high-volume pumps," he added.

"There's a range of units down there. We're unable to say how it started at this time because it needs investigating."
