FOUR cars were destroyed in a fire overnight. 

Firefighters were called to Forward Mill, Goulbourne Street, Keighley, at 12.35am, where the cars were ablaze. 

The fire had spread to a mill building, but a spokesperson for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the damage was limited to the window and around the window as the sprinkler system had activated. 

Six breathing-apparatus sets were worn and three hose reels used to bring the blaze under control.

Special high-pressure fans were also brought in to help clear smoke.

"Fortunately sprinklers in the building had activated which limited the spread of the fire inside the two-storey premises," said watch commander Chris Burke, of Keighley fire station.

"Fire damage was limited to windows and a small area inside the unit."

Crews from Keighley, Bingley and Silsden fire stations – and police – attended.

They were at the scene for around three-and-a-half hours. 

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
