A fire broke out at Tottenham Hotspur's stadium forcing staff to evacuate 300 people
An air compressor caught fire which led to the evacuation at around 10am, with the flames put out by an electrician before two engines from the London Fire Brigade arrived on the scene.
No injuries were reported among the 300 people evacuated from the north London stadium by Tottenham Hotspur staff, who were following standard safety procedures.

'Around 300 people were evacuated from the nine-storey building by on-site staff. There were no reports of any injuries.
'The Brigade was called at 10:01 (BST) and the fire was under control by 10:59 (BST). Two fire engines from Tottenham Fire Station were at the scene.'
Later on Thursday, members of the public were able to queue up for the Tottenham club shop and the Dare Skywalk, which allows people to scale the height of the stadium and enjoy views of London from the top of the ground.
The stadium has been used as a mass coronavirus vaccination centre over the summer. Spurs have hosted three mass clinics at their ground for both first and second doses of the Pfizer jabs, with the latest taking place in the middle of July.
The first clinic, which was held in partnership with the NHS, took place on June 20 and saw 4,200 people sign up for jabs.
The stadium's construction was completed in March 2019 and cost the club around £1billion.
