Firefighters tackled a gas cylinder blaze in Twickenham.

Crews from Twickenham and Kingston were called to a three-storey building in Richmond Road just before 3pm.

They found a gas cylinder alight and evacuated neighbouring flats and businesses.

The road was sealed off while firefighters tackled the small blaze, which caused minor damage.

It remained closed while crews waited for the propane gas cylinder to cool down.

Richmond Road re-opened at 4.20pm.
