A motor repair shop in Tottenham has been destroyed following a fire.

Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters tackled a fire at an industrial estate on Willoughby Lane in Tottenham last night.

Two men left the building before the Brigade arrived. There were no reports of any injuries.

A gas cylinder inside the workshop was removed and cooled to an ambient temperature as some cylinders can explode when exposed to heat.

The Brigade was called at 7:44pm and the fire was under control by 9:15pm. Firefighters from Tottenham, Edmonton, Walthamstow and surrounding fire stations attended the scene.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
