THE cause of a fire that ripped through a storage room last night (Monday) is being investigated.

Fire-fighters were called to the blaze at Tylers Cross Nursery in Epping Road, Nazeing, at 9.30pm and spent just over 20 minutes fighting the flames.

The shed where the fire started was being used to store plastic and was completely on fire when crews arrived.

They set up a relay to get water onto the fire and left the scene after it was completely damped down at about 11pm.

Essex County Fire and Rescue Service will investigate the cause.
