A "commercial building and a number of lorries" have been damaged in a large fire on an industrial estate, a fire service has said.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said 12 engines had been sent to the blaze on London Road in Adlington, near Macclesfield, after it broke out at about 02:45 BST.

It said engineers had isolated the electricity and gas supplies to help make the site safe.

A representative said nearby residents should keep windows and doors shut as firefighters worked to dampen down the blaze.
