FIRE tore through a Mirfield house leaving part of it badly damaged inside.

Dewsbury fire crews were called to Shill Bank View at 9.30am yesterday where an annexe of a large property was engulfed in flames. As they doused the flames, the fire would spark back to life once again. The annexe was empty at the time, although interior work had been taking place. Dewsbury Watch Commander Woodhead said there would be an investigation into the cause of the fire.
