Kilner Bank is on fire too
Fire control has just confirmed Kilner Bank is on fire again.
It’s the latest grass fire in the Huddersfield area, following on from dozens over the past few weeks.
There is one pump there at the moment so it doesn’t sound too serious.
Wakefield Road due to re-open soon
The fire is on its way out and the authorities are hopeful the road can re-open soon.
The roads around J25 of the M62 are jammed up and people are advised to avoid the area if possible.
70 firefighters were needed
Fire chiefs have confirmed the blaze has fully gutted the single story warehouse.
At its peak there were 70 firefighters from across the brigade tackling the fire, which has been described as about 60m x 60m in size, slightly smaller than a football pitch.
In the last few minutes the fire service has said the incident has been scaled down from 12 crews to eight.
There is still a small fire still burning inside building more than three hours since the incident began.
Wakefield Road remains closed
Wakefield Road remains closed as the firefighting operation goes on. Avoid the area for now.
