An Essex fire spokesman said: "We'll be working with Extreme Rescue to dismantle the building to dampen any remaining hot spots and make the scene safe.
"If you live or work in the area, please keep your windows and doors closed as there’s lots of smoke coming from the scene.
"On arrival, crews reported that an industrial unit - measuring 20 metres by 40 metres - was heavily smoke logged."
