A fire at an industrial unit in Sheffield led to a cylinder exploding, causing a "loud bang", a fire service has said.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said five engines had been tackling the fire in Clay Wheels Lane, near Middlewood Park, for several hours.

It said no-one was "seriously injured in the explosion" but a large cordon was placed around the building.

People living nearby were advised to keep their windows and doors closed.

The fire service said the blaze was extinguished in the afternoon, but added a fire engine would remain on site.
