An investigation is under way after a fire broke out in a car park at one of the UK’s biggest shopping centres.
Firefighters said they were called to reports of a blaze in a multi-story car park at Lakeside in Thurrock, Essex shortly before 15:00 BST.
The fire was discovered in the stairwell of a roof but was quickly contained.
There were no injuries and no vehicles were affected.
