Kenilworth firefighters were among six crews called to a large fire at Idverde's warehouse in Warwick.

Crews were called to the fire at Princes Close Gardens off Stratford Road at 1pm on Saturday, March 26.

Firefighters were on site all afternoon tackling the blaze and then damping down the site.
