Pair missing during blaze found

Two people who were missing after a fire broke out at a coal depot in London have been found.

The pair were initially unaccounted for as 10 fire crews tackled the blaze in Tavistock Road, West Drayton.

Several vehicles caught fire, along with pallets and conveyor belts, London Fire Brigade said.

By 0500 BST, up to 75% of the site was on fire and a "hazardous zone" had been set. The fire was brought under control by 0600.

The hazardous zone was set up because there a number of cylinders are stored at the depot.

A brigade spokeswoman said three water jets were being used to tackle the flames.

Police have also sealed off roads around the site.
