A FIRE crew returning to the station after dealing with car fires came across a woman who had collapsed in the road outside a nightclub.

The woman, thought to be in her mid 20s, was laid in the road outside the K2 nightclub in Keighley at about 4.30 yesterday morning.

A Keighley fire crew lifted the woman off the road and helped her friend call a taxi to take them both home. A fire service spokesman said an ambulance was unable to attend due to attending emergency calls.
