The Independent says some residents in the Denton area of Manchester have been evacuated after police declared a “major incident” after a large fire broke out at a warehouse.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said it has sent around 125 firefighters and 25 fire appliances to the scene of the blaze in Holland Street.
The fire began in a three-storey warehouse and has now spread to adjoining units, causing a large plume of smoke which affected the M67 motorway and the local community.
Members of the public have been asked to avoid the area.
