Fire crews were called to the Canterbury Advice Centre at around 07:00 this morning after smoke was seen coming from the property on Ringwood Road, Bradford. Apparently the building was set ablaze following a break-in and police have launched an investigation into the incident.Crews from Bradford (2) and Odsal attended and used 2 Hosereel jets, Breathing apparatus sets and a Positive Pressure Ventilation Fan to clear smoke from the 2 storey property.
Odsal Watch Commander Andy Thornton said "There had been signs of a break-in and multiple seats of fire on both floors of the building. "The fires involved filing cabinets, desks and other office furniture. "We did not know if anyone was inside and two sets of breathing apparatus were deployed to check that the building was clear. "30 to 40 per cent of the building was on fire, but it was under control and extinguished within an hour."
It was not known if flammable liquids or materials had been brought into the building but CID police officers were at the scene starting their investigations.
