Station Commander Wayne Bloomfield, who is attending the scene, has said in an update on London Fire Brigade’s website: “Firefighters are working hard to extinguish a large amount of refuse alight at a recycling centre.
“Due to the significant amount of smoke in the area, local residents are advised to keep their windows and doors closed.
“Loose embers have also been reported, which is normal during large fires. Residents are advised to pour water onto them if they are concerned about loose embers on or near their properties, but if they do catch something alight, don’t hesitate to call 999.”
