FIREBUGS set a derelict Elland mill ablaze last night.

They broke into a red brick mill next to the former Gannex mill on Dewsbury Road, off The Ainleys.

Fire crews went to the scene just after 7pm.

Two firefighters went into the smoke-logged property.

They found that a number of small fires has been started in a section of the building.

The crews used one hose reel to put out the fires.

They then made the building safe.
