Firefighters today tackled a blaze at a disused petrol station in Bradford, believed to have been started deliberately.

Crews from Bradford and Odsal stations were called to the former Texaco garage in Wakefield Road.

A pile of rubbish had caught fire and several aerosols had exploded inside the building.

A small amount of smoke and flames could be seen from outside the garage, half of which was involved in the fire.

A spokesman for Bradford fire station said he thought the blaze, which broke out at about 5.15pm, was started deliberately.
