More than 30 fire fighters were required to a house fire in Oak Avenue, Ickenham on Saturday.

The fire broke out at the house and garage just after noon and six engines from Ruislip, Southall, Northolt, Harrow, and Hillingdon fire stations were sent to the scene.

The crews had to work quickly to stop the fire spreading to a nearby Shell petrol station.

Neighbouring homes were evacuated until the fire was brought under control at 1.35pm.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
