Arsonists are being blamed for a tyre blaze on land behind Towler & Staines, in Bradford Road, Keighley, this afternoon.

Crews from Bingley and Silsden, called out at about 3pm, used a large water jet to tackle the fire.

The pile of tyres was in the open and no buildings were affected.

Keighley firefighters have been in Calderdale for most of the day helping with flood relief efforts.
