Firefighters prevent bin fire spreading to offices

Firefighters worked to prevent a bin fire spreading to two office buildings in Waltham Abbey today. 

Four crews were called to multiple bins on fire in Brooker Road, Waltham Abbey. The flames were beginning to spread up the side of two nearby buildings. 

Crews worked quickly to evacuate staff in the building and prevented the fire spreading inside the offices.

Fire officers will now carry out an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
