HUNDREDS of tyres were set on fire in a storage compound in Bradford during the early hours of the morning.
Firefighters from Bradford station were called at 2am today (Monday) to the compound in Rebecca Street where a mixture of plant machine tyres and car tyres were on fire.
Watch commander, Simon Moore, said eight firefighters spent around two hours bringing the blaze under control and managed to prevent the flames spreading to a nearby firm of solicitors.
Neighbours in surrounding properties were also advised to keep their windows shut.
He said the blaze was being treated as 'deliberate ignition.'
