Huge blaze at Sheffield business premises

Thirty firefighters attended an incident at a building on Broadfield Road in Heeley, Sheffield on Sunday 2nd October.

The fire broke out at around 6.45pm and was attended by crews from Central, Mansfield Road and Lowedges.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “The fire broke through the roof space of the building and a massive amount of smoke was coming from the building, which is why some roads were closed. It is a two-storey building and gas and electricity supplies were isolated for the safety of our firefighters. No-one is believed to have been in the building at the time. This was a large fire and firefighters worked very hard to quickly bring the blaze under control. An investigation will be carried out into the cause of the fire in due course.”

Nearby roads were closed during the incident due to the plume of smoke coming from the fire but most had re-opened by 9.15pm.

An investigation into the cause of the fire will be carried out.
