Firefighters remain at the scene of a large fire which engulfed a storage unit in Surrey two days ago.

The blaze started just before 21:00 BST on Thursday at the Access Self Storage unit on Oyster Lane, Byfleet.

Surrey Fire & Rescue said one fire engine was still there helping to damp down the area.

One man who stored items there said: "All my equipment, all my tools, all my stock has pretty much all gone."

He added: "I don't know about the other side, but that has got all my worldly possessions."

They said it was too early to tell what had started the fire.
