Blaze breaks out at car garage in Pontefract

Fire crews were called to a blaze in Pontefract after a car garage went up in flames.

The call was made at 7.47pm last night, Friday, October 16, to Front Street.

The two-storey building is a disused garage, and reports from West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service suggest only five per cent of the building was in flames by the time they arrived.
