FIRE crews had to use a high-powered fan to clear a building of smoke in the early hours of this morning.

West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service (WYFRS) was called to a blaze on Morley Street, Bradford, at around 3:14am today.

Two pumps from Bradford attended, as well as one from Odsal and an aerial unit from Halifax.

The fire had started in some rubbish outside of a building.

It then spread to the doors of the building and caused extensive smoke logging inside it.

Crews were able to extinguish the fire by using two hose reels.

They then used a high-powered fan to clear the building of smoke.
