FIREFIGHTERS are tackling a blaze at a garage in Shipley that started in the early hours of this morning. 

Crews from Shipley, Bradford, and Bingley were called to the incident at MB Motors on Leeds Road just after 3.15am.

Three separate fires were said to have taken hold in a derelict building on the site, which contained cylinders of acetylene gas. 

Crews, who remain at the scene, used two large jets, three ground monitors, and a fog spike - a piece of equipment used to punch holes into a structure and deliver water into the inside - to bring the blaze under control. 

The cause of the fire is yet to be confirmed.
