A huge fire engulfed an industrial estate warehouse causing plumes of thick black smoke to pour out into the sky.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) crews were scrambled to the Aintree Industrial Park, on Wareing Road, early this morning after reports of a fire inside a two-storey building. Crews from six engines arrived at the scene at 5.14am after receiving calls just minutes before.
A spokesperson for the service confirmed the building, around 100 by 30 metres in size, was "fully involved in fire". The complex operation saw crews tackle the blaze in multiple locations around the building, including from above with an aerial appliance.
