A CARAVAN stuffed with tyres was set alight in Bradford just before midnight last night.

A spokesman for the fire service said a crew from Shipley attended the incident in Stanley Road, Bradford, off Canal Road, at 11.58pm.

The tyres were well alight when firefighters arrived and they used one hose reel and one breathing apparatus to extinguish the blaze.

The crew left the scene just before 2am.

A spokesman for the council said the incident had not yet been reported to them but if the tyres and burnt out caravan were on an adopted road they would be expected to clear the debris away.
