Multiple fire engines called to blaze in high-rise tower block in Leeds

Fire crews were called to a flat on the 15th floor of Marlborough Towers in Hanover Way, Leeds, tonight.

The blaze is now out but fire crews are still at the scene as of about 9pm.

Six fire engines have been pictured at the scene of the blaze, which was contained within one flat and did not spread.

Brigade chiefs said earlier this week that there had been eight "small fires" in high-rise buildings in West Yorkshire since the Grenfell disaster.

The causes of the incidents have included cooking, careless disposal of cigarettes and combustible items being left too close to a heater.

As a precautionary measure, the West Yorkshire brigade now sends six fire engines - including one with high-reach capability - to any confirmed fire at a high-rise building.
