Part of a terminal at Heathrow Airport in London is evacuated because of a possible hazardous material, authorities said.

The check-in area at Terminal 4 is closed and evacuated while emergency services respond, a Heathrow spokesperson said.

Crowds of passengers with luggage can be seen outside the terminal as firefighters respond to the scene.

The London Fire Brigade says the evacuation was a precaution.

The airport asks passengers not to travel to the terminal. All other terminals are operating.
