Firefighters spent an hour at an engineering firm after a furnace overheated and caught fire.

Crews from Bradford attended the premises of Federal Mogul, Neville Road, East Bowling, shortly before 4am today.

An employee had put sand on the fire but flames spread to insulation around the furnace, which had to be taken apart by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus.

They also stripped away the insulation to make sure the fire, which caused slight damage, was out. No-one was injured.
