A ROAD in Keighley is blocked this morning due to a building fire. 

It's on the A629 South Street, around Greengate, near the New Hope Church.

Firefighters were called at just after 5am. 

Five fire engines are in attendance at the three-storey building, which includes the Miraj takeaway.

A West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said the fire is on the ground and first floors and there is an exposure risk to one side. 

Fire crews from Keighley, Bingley, Silsden, Odsal, Fairweather Green, Cookridge, Bradford, Shipley, Illingworth and Pontefract have been at the scene. 

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said that as soon as the building is safe to enter, an investigation into the cause of the fire can begin.

The road into Keighley has now reopened, but the outbound route remains closed.

Bus services are being diverted, these include the Brontebus B1, B2 and B3, Keighley Jets K9, K15 and the 67.
