The school pictured in 2017
FIREFIGHTERS were called out to tackle a blaze at a derelict former school.
Crews from Bradford and Cleckheaton, with an aerial appliance from Leeds, were called to Yorkshire Martyrs School, in Westgate Hill Street, Tong, at 4am this morning.
They used two large jets at the scene and firefighters from Bradford remain at the scene damping down.
The cause of the fire is not currently known.
The school has been beset by arson attacks since the former Roman Catholic school closed in 2010 after a re-structuring by the Leeds Catholic Diocese.
