FIREFIGHTERS were called to a fire at a property thought to be being used by squatters early this morning.

Shortly before 3am, fire crews got a call that the third floor bedroom of a house on Easby Road, off Morley Street, Bradford, was ablaze.

On arrival the crew from Bradford station found a small fire near a window that had caused some smoke damage to the room.

The property is being refurbished and is currently uninhabitable, with no water or electricity, but neighbours told firefighters they had seen people coming and going from the house recently, and that they were most likely squatting in it.
