A fire at a Bournemouth garage involving gas cylinders has been brought under control.

It started just after 9 A-M at the business on Cleveland Road, off Holdenhurst Road - which was cordoned off for nearly three hours, with about 15 to 20 people evacuated from nearby homes and offices.

Police and paramedics were on hand while 25 firefighters sprayed the garage with water to keep the cylinders cool, and prevent an explosion - and the road was reopened just after midday.
