A warehouse has partially collapsed after a large fire ripped through the building, firefighters have said.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said it was called to the blaze at Langage Business Park, in Plympton, on Tuesday evening.

It said firefighters from 13 fire stations attended the "large scale incident" and worked through the night to prevent it spreading to adjacent industrial units.

The fire service said the blaze "engulfed" the whole building which then partially collapsed.

On Wednesday morning the fire service said the incident was ongoing and "there were no casualties".

The cause of the blaze is being investigated.
