Crews are using one hose reel jet and one aerial ladder platform.

Assistant Divisional Officer Vernon Kendall, officer in charge, said: "The building is no longer on fire but it is smoldering and there are hot-spots throughout.

"Ours is now a watching brief, we will continue to put water on to cool it and ensuring that the fire does not flare back up again."
