Firefighters worked through the night to put out a fire at an industrial estate that affected three units and "a number of vehicles".

Essex Fire Service was called to the blaze at Galley Hill Road, Waltham Abbey, at about 17:47 BST on Sunday.

On Monday, three crews remained at the scene monitoring hotspots and cooling the area.

An investigation would be carried out to find out how it started, the service said.

Area manager Dan Partridge said crews had to work "really hard to get the fire under control" due to a limited water supply.
