Firefighters remain at scene of large fire

We remain at the scene of a large fire in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.

Crews were called at 2.50am today (Tuesday 2 September) to a derelict building on Market Street following reports of a fire.

Six appliances attended the scene alongside our aerial ladder platforms (ALPs) from Longton and Burton. Firefighters are using breathing apparatus and main jets to tackle the blaze.

Nobody has been reported injured.

An investigation into the cause of the fire will take place in due course.
