Fire Engines were despatched to a derelict building during the evening of 20th February. Upon arrival crews confirmed that the building was well alight.
Crews worked throughout the night with 45 mil jets and ground monitors to extinguish the fire, eventually using it to dampen down hotspots.
The cause is believed to be deliberate.
