An electrical fault sparked a blaze that gutted a village chip shop this morning.
The interior of Eastburn Fish and Chips - a one-storey building in Main Road - was badly damaged in the blaze, which broke out at about 9.20am. No one was hurt in the incident.
One fire appliance from Silsden and a vehicle from Keighley Fire Station attended, after being alerted by the owner of the business.
Crews - some wearing breathing apparatus - used two hose reels to extinguish the fire.
Keighley crew manager Lee Scholes said the blaze started at the rear of the premises, due to a faulty electrical motor.
He said although fire crews arrived at the property within six minutes of being alerted, the inside of the building was already well alight.
