A fire early today has destroyed an upholstery warehouse in Colne Road, Glusburn, near Keighley.

The occupants of a nearby house raised the alarm at 2am when their smoke detector was activated and five appliances from Skipton, Keighley and Silsden attended along with two senior fire officers.

The warehouse, two cars and a caravan were destroyed.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said half of the house suffered heat damage but there was only minor fire damage.

No-one was injured during the incident. The cause is being investigated by the fire service. It is believed the blaze started in the warehouse.
