A fire involving four vehicles spread to an office building in Bordesley, Birmingham.

Images on social media showed thick smoke billowing from commercial workshop premises on Garrison Street, which was closed to the public.

Six fire engines and 36 firefighters were sent to the scene, with the office roof space also affected, West Midlands Fire Service said.

Crews were scaled back by early afternoon, although the fire sevice said it would be monitoring the site.
