About 150 firefighters are tackling a huge blaze on an industrial estate.
Flames have engulfed a single-storey warehouse on a scrapyard in Erith, along with three diggers and numerous vehicles.
Twenty-five fire engines are involved in the emergency response on the Darent Industrial Park, with crews scrambled from Bexley and other surrounding stations.
Local residents are advised to keep their windows and doors closed due to the amount of smoke being produced.
Two 32-metre turntable ladders have been deployed to provide a vantage point for assessing the scene and to deliver water from above.
A fire boat was also called to the incident. It has two remote-operated water monitors that can pump 2,500 litres per minute, to help with firefighting operations from the Thames.
The first 999 calls about the fire were made shortly after 10.45pm last night.
The cause of the blaze is not known at this time.
