Fire crews called to blaze at Broadford Works site in Aberdeen

Fire crews were called to a blaze at the Broadford Works site in Aberdeen earlier tonight.

Two appliances, from Central, and 12 firefighters were called to the disused factory at around 7.35pm.

The crews used a hosereel jet and breathing apparatus to put out the fire.

No one was injured as a result of the incident and the fire was extinguished at around 8.10pm.

In recent years there have been numerous fires at the premises, which is the largest collection of at-risk A-listed buildings in Scotland.

In November, four teenagers were charged after video footage emerged online of them appearing to enter the site to start a fire inside.

Permission was granted earlier this year for the site to be converted into more than 500 homes.
