A CREW from the Bradford district is helping to tackle a huge fire near Millennium Square in Leeds city centre tonight.

Odsal firefighters are one of 10 pumps at a derelict high-rise building on Cookridge Street, which is an ongoing incident.

A safety cordon is in place and surrounding buildings have been evacuated due to the potentially unsafe structure of the derelict building.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service is working with West Yorkshire Police and Yorkshire Ambulance Service. The Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) is also in attendance.
