Ocado: Thousands of orders cancelled as robots cause fire
A fire at an Ocado fulfillment centre in south-east London on Friday has caused the online grocer to cancel thousands of orders.
The blaze occurred when three of the robots that help pick groceries collided at the Erith site.
About 800 staff members had to be evacuated and firefighters worked through the night to stop the fire. This is the second incident at an Ocado facility. In 2019, its Andover warehouse burned down after an electrical fault.
Ocado said no one was injured in the incident.
