A fire at an industrial site in Littleton Lane near Chertsey was so fierce that it affected planes coming in to land at Heathrow.
The blaze erupted at about 6.50pm on Saturday night and generated a huge plume of smoke over Laleham and Shepperton.
Police closed Littleton Lane and Thames Side to traffic while firefighters battled a massive blaze at an industrial site between the two roads.
A spokeswoman for Surrey Fire and Rescue Service said: "The fire is at a range of buildings which are full of rubbish, lorries, tyres and things like that.
"There is a lot of smoke damage and there is the chance that it is of suspicious origin. A lot of black smoke was caused, which has affected planes trying to land at Heathrow."
Eyewitnesses reported seeing four ambulances rushing to the scene, but no one is thought to have been injured.
More as we get it.
