A FLAT was badly damaged in a blaze which left neighbouring homes smoke-logged tonight.

Firefighters were called to the blaze, at Firethorn Close, Four Lane Ends, at about 7.45pm and found around half of one flat ablaze.

Three crews, from the Fairweather Green, Bradford and Shipley stations were involved in the incident and used three hose reels to tackle the flames.

Neighbouring homes in the two-storey block were affected by smoke but it is understood there were no injuries.

It remained unclear how the fire started and crews remained at the scene late tonight.
