FIREFIGHTERS scrambled to the scene of a building blaze on a major road in Bradford.

Crews from Fairweather Green, Odsal and Bradford were called to Beckside Road, Lidget Green, at 11.06am. 

Footage shows smoke billowing into the sky as the fire burned. 

"I smelled lots of smoke and came out of the shop and saw the fire," said a shop worker.

"The firefighters and police soon arrived.

"It was all pretty dramatic.

"Hopefully, nobody's been injured."

A resident said: "I saw the smoke and the firefighters earlier.

"I just hope nobody was inside the building at the time."

A West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "No-one was injured.

"We used hose reels and breathing apparatus to extinguish the blaze."

One police car was at the scene this afternoon, but had left by 2.20pm.
