These dramatic videos show a terrifying blaze and smoke billowing into the sky on a residential street due to an electrical fire at Heathrow.

The clips, filmed by local Rebecca, show the inferno towering above North Hyde Road, in Hayes, London at 11.35pm on March 20.

Billowing black smoke can be seen above the roofs of homes with flames high in the sky as bystanders watch on.

Rebecca said she had been sat in her garden when she heard an 'explosion' at 11pm and the sky 'lit up'.

She said: "I rang my other half who was inside and said 'did you hear that bang?'"

"He looked outside and saw all of our neighbours coming out to see what was going on."

"It was a massive fire and the bang was like a huge explosion. The sky lit up."

Rebecca and her partner walked up to nearby North Hyde Road - just a stone's throw away from the substation which was alight.

She added: "We were stood there and we could feel the heat on our faces because the fire was so big."

"There were so many people and fire engines, police and ambulance - it was very scary."

"We heard they were evacuating people who were closer but thankfully we are safe."

"I just hope no one is injured."

Heathrow Airport - the UK's busiest - was forced to close on Friday (March 21) after the electrical substation exploded in the west London suburb of Hayes.
