Derelict building in Stoke-on-Trent fire

Firefighters have extinguished a fire inside a derelict building in Stoke-on-Trent.

We were called just after 4am yesterday (Wednesday 12 August) to Brunswick Street in Hanley following reports of a fire.

Three appliances and our aerial ladder platform (ALP) attended the scene and found a small fire inside a derelict building.

The fire was extinguished using a hose reel jet and thankfully nobody was reported injured.

The cause of the fire was deemed to be deliberate, and crews left the scene at around 6am.
