A BIN fire behind a shop caused a lot of damage last night (July 8) in Erith.

The blaze in Limewood Road spread to two garages and a storeroom before being put out by firefighters.

It is estimated around half of each building was damaged by the flames and all three were smoke logged.

Two fire crews from Erith and one from Bexley were called to deal with the blaze at around 6pm yesterday.

They were there for around two hours.
