THE fire service have issued a warning after four engines were called out to a barbecue fire on the balcony of a high rise flats building in Bradford.

A spokesperson for the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said engines from Bradford, Rawdon, Shipley and Stanningley fire stations were called at 6.20pm on Wednesday to a report of barbecue fire on the sixth floor balcony of Waryn House, Haigh Beck View, Thorpe Edge.

The spokesperson said: "The fire was out on arrival and the engines stood down, but advice was given to the occupants.
