An evacuation zone set up in Andover following a major fire at an Ocado warehouse has been lifted.

More than 200 firefighters tackled the blaze at its height, which broke out on Tuesday on Walworth Industrial Estate.

It is no longer considered to be a major incident, although fire crews remain at the scene on Thursday.

Crews from Hampshire Fire and Rescue worked throughout Wednesday night to remove toxic chemicals from the site.

Fire crews are expected to remain on site for the next few days.

During the evacuation, Ocado vans with food, drink, nappies and other essentials were sent to Andover.

Hotel rooms were made available for those who had to leave their homes overnight.

The company has thanked the 'large number' of local businesses that helped the community and the emergency services and agencies for their 'professionalism' during the incident.

It has also thanked the people of Andover for their 'understanding and support' during this 'difficult period'.

The building and its contents has suffered substantial damage.

Ocado says it is working hard to minimise disruption for customers by increasing capacity at other facilities.

Southern Water supplied more than 2 million gallons of water to help tackle the blaze.
