Firefighters tackle blaze at Bermondsey waste centre

About 100 firefighters are tackling a massive blaze at a waste facility in south-east London.

Fifteen fire engines were called to Landmann Way in Bermondsey shortly before 20:00 BST after about 50 tonnes of household waste caught fire.

London Fire Brigade (LFB) warned that a large amount of smoke was being produced by the blaze and advised local residents to keep their doors and windows closed.

LFB said the cause of the fire was not yet known, but firefighters tackled a blaze at the same facility in June.

Speaking from the scene, station commander Duncan Rees said: “Crews are working hard in difficult conditions to bring the fire under control.”

He added that a 32m ladder and a 64m ladder were being used to tackle the flames from above.
