CREWS are still dealing with a huge fire that required over a dozen West Yorkshire stations to attend last night.
At 8.18pm on Wednesday night, 80 firefighters, including ones from Bradford, Shipley, Cleckheaton and Rastrick, were among those who tackled the inferno raging at an industrial estate near Wakefield.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said two fire engines remain at the scene, a warehouse complex off Dale Street, Ossett, this morning as the damping down process continues.
