Flames engulf Huddersfield mill

A TRADING estate in Huddersfield has gone up in flames.

Firefighters were called to the Britannia Mills Trading Estate, and appliances brought in from Halifax, Holmfirth and Meltham, among others.

The fire involved 30% of the first floor of the two storey mill building

Around 40 firefighters battled the blaze on Britannia Road, Milnsbridge using water from the canal.

A call came in at 12.25pm to West Yorkshire Fire Service, and several hours later fire crews still remained. The cause of the fire is as yet unknown.

Last month a packaging centre in Wetherby was damaged in a fire, forcing the relocation of a £45m-turnover business.
