Dozens of firefighters have been tackling two large blazes in separate incidents in the West Midlands.

Crews were sent to a car workshop on Adderley Street in Deritend, Birmingham, after a severe fire broke out just before 02:30 GMT.

At the height of the incident, more than 50 firefighters tackled the flames.

In West Bromwich, about 40 were sent to a fire at a unit involving 60 tonnes of industrial waste rags.

The Birmingham fire, which started in a single-storey building, involved multiple vehicles, said the fire service.

As of 08:00 GMT, four crews and an aerial platform remained at the scene.

"The efforts of our crews meant that three neighbouring businesses were saved," said a fire service spokesperson.

Adderley Street, close to the city centre, was expected to remain closed until midday.

In West Bromwich, fire broke out on Bullock Street, off Kelvin Way, at about 02:00 GMT, with eight appliances and specialist equipment sent to the site.

A digger was used to remove the affected material from the building, with fire crews scaled down to four by about 05:00 GMT.

A fire investigation assessment concluded the fire was accidental.

Residents in both areas were asked to keep their windows and doors closed while crews continued to work.
