Firefighters from Bradford, Odsal and Fairweather Green tackled the blaze
A WORKER suffered burns in a fire at a car parts manufacturer in Bradford today.
Crews from Bradford, Odsal and Fairweather Green attended the blaze at Federal Mogul in Ounsworth Street, off Wakefield Road.
Some 60 staff were evacuated from a foundry after a tank full of oil, which is used in the cooling and hardening of smelted pins, caught fire at about 9.30am.
Flames then caused part of the building's extraction fan system to catch alight and the fire spread into a roof area.
Firefighters tackled the blaze using an aerial appliance and it was controlled and made safe by 11am.
The injured worker was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary for treatment to burns on his arm.
