Dozens of firefighters are battling a fire at a Cardiff self storage facility.
Crews were called to Kennards Self Storage on Pendlebury Road just after 2.30 to find a fire in the second level of the two level building.
First arriving crews called for urgent assistance as the fire quickly spread to 6 storage units.
Newcastle Fire Command says around 50 firefighters are at the scene including aerial, Hazmat and support crews.
Police and ambulance are also at the scene and Pendlebury Road is closed to traffic.
The fire has taken 90 minutes to bring under control, with crews still working to extinguish the blaze.
However, the fire is proving difficult to extinguish due to the presence of lithium ion batteries, causing the fire to re-ignite.
