Firefighters were called to a workshop blaze on Hayling Island at around midday.

Crews from Hayling Island, Havant, Gosport, Hightown and Eastleigh arrived on the scene at Havant Road to find the building well alight after the HIWFRS Control Room received multiple calls reporting the fire.

The building, along with a vehicle and a number of gas cylinders were involved in the blaze.

Around 35 firefighters were involved in the operation at the height of the incident, when locals were advised to avoid the area.
