Firefighters are dealing with an incident at a former church in Bradford.

West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service was called out at 4.33pm to a fire at a disused building on Undercliffe Road.

Photos and videos seen by the T&A show flames flickering inside the building while clouds of grey smoke enter the sky.

Crews from Bradford, Shipley, Fairweather Green and Stanningley fire stations are in attendance.

One eye witness told the T&A: "The roof is not in a good way. There's smoke coming from the roof. A lot of the roof is gone.

"There's a lot of firefighters. There's smoke coming out of the roof and there's appliances right on top of the church now."

The witness added: "There's some investigators here. They're using water out of the road for the fire engines."

Five fire engines have been sent to the scene while crews are using five hoses to tackle the fire. 

Earlier this month, a planning application to demolish the church and build shops and industrial units in its place had been submitted to Bradford Council.

The chapel, based at 114 Undercliffe Road in Eccleshill, had most recently been used as a workshop.

Road closures in place near fire

As crews tackle the fire, some road closures have been put in place. 

Undercliffe Road is closed both ways between Pelham Road and Leeds Road.

Pedestrian access ends at Pelham Court.

West Street is also closed. 

The AA said: "Road closed and slow traffic due to building fire on Undercliffe Road both ways between Pelham Road and Leeds Road."
