Firefighters from across the district were scrambled to the scene of a large blaze in Bradford last night.

At the fire’s peak, 12 fire engines, a command unit and an aerial ladder platform were in use and it was being tackled by more than 60 fire fighters.

Firefighters were called to the blaze, which involved a bedding manufacturer’s building in Talbot Street, Lister Hills, at 4.45pm.

Senior operations officer at West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Ian Bitcon said some structural damage had been caused to the building which was being assessed by a structural engineer.
