A KEIGHLEY factory was evacuated this afternoon when smoke started billowing from a forklift truck.

Firefighters were called out to Gesipa, in Dalton Lane, at about 2.50pm.

They made the truck safe and moved it outside.

It's believed the incident was caused by an electrical fault.

Crews from Keighley, Bingley and Shipley fire stations attended – but the latter two weren't required.
