Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters dealt with a severe garage blaze on Maury Road in Hackney.
Two adjoining garages were destroyed by the fire and eight motorbikes were badly damaged.
Brigade 999 control centre took eight 999 calls to the visible blaze and fire crews worked hard to stop the fire from spreading to surrounding properties. A gas cylinder was found inside the garage. It was cooled and removed as some cylinders can explode when exposed to heat.
The Brigade was called at 2259 and the fire was under control by 0024. Firefighters from Stoke Newington and Homerton fire stations were at the scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
