It's been burning since Sunday lunchtime

Fire crews from across Devon and Somerset are still battling a blaze at a disused warehouse in Newton Abbot. 

Control received the call at 1305 on Sunday (21st October). They sent crews from the town and Torquay, but soon realized the severity and sent a total of 10 pumps, as well as support vehicles. 

Some local residents were asked to leave their homes and go to a local community centre for safety. 

Relief crews took over at 0100 this morning (Monday 22nd) and have just been replaced again (0800). 

The derelict warehouse on Brunel Road measures 95 x 30 meters. Some roads in the area remain closed. 

Updates as we have them.
