FIRE crews from across Watford were called to a blazing inferno which took over an hour to bring under control at Polestar printers in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Crews were called to the fire which started in it's out-house next to the main building in Ascot Road, Watford at around 2.09am after night workers at the neighbouring Royal Mail sorting office raised the alarm.

The fire was brought under control at around 3.30am and a re-inspection of the site took place earlier morning.

A full investigation into the cause of the fire which involved a total of 25 people, none of which were hurt, is now underway.
