Keighley house blaze under investigation
8:03am Tuesday 11th September 2012 in Keighley By Alistair Shand
A blaze which extensively damaged a Keighley terraced home early this morning is under investigation.
Neighbours were evacuated as firefighters spent about two hours tackling the fire in Richmond Street.
Fire investigators were due to attend the scene this morning, said Keighley watch commander Chris Hannah.
He said: “There was extensive damage right through the house. It was quite a severe fire.”
Two crews from Keighley and one from Bingley were called out to the incident at 2.30am and used breathing apparatus to get inside the burning building. Although the house is occupied, nobody was there at the time.
