A spokesperson for WYFRS said: "Due to the size of the fire and its location, crews from Bradford, Cleckheaton, Rawdon, Morley, Cookridge, Hunslet, Todmorden and Dewsbury attended, alongside an aerial rig from Bradford and Huddersfield.

"It was confirmed early on that no one was inside the building."

By 4.30pm the fire had been vastly reduced, with just four crews and one aerial appliance remaining.

The public are being told not to worry about smoke which "may still be visible", but "is not harmful".
