Probe goes on into mill blaze

7:53am Friday 11th April 2008 in News By Kathie Griffiths

Fire chiefs will be reviewing a blaze that tore though a derelict mill's roofspace later today.

It is still not known exactly what caused yesterday's fire at Woolston Mills in Sunbridge Road, Bradford but investigators are hoping to be closer to finding out today.

More than 100 firefighters tackled the blaze at its peak, during the night the ten pumps from across the district were stood down to four and by this morning only two remained at the scene damping down.

A fire spokesman said the incident would be closed sometime today once investigators had carried out a review of what happened.

Crowds had gathered to watch the fire as flames shot through the roof of the seven-storey building and plumes of smoke filled the sky.

Contractors had been working there at the time to make way for an earmarked £25 million conversion into apartments, offices and leisure complex.
