Two appliances were deployed to tackle the blaze, which appeared to be coming from the top floor of the building. Fire crews attempted to battle the fire but required additional support from a height vehicle because the fire was primarily on the top floor. One of the windows on the top floor of the building has been boarded up and there appears to be extensive smoke damage. It is not yet known what caused the fire. Picture by Chris Sumner.
