Fire crews from across West Yorkshire tackled a barn blaze at Riddlesden last night.

The inferno engulfed the 60 x 120-metre building at Upwood Hall Farm, Ilkley Road.

The isolated location of the barn, close to the moors, meant water had to be relayed some distance to the scene.

Four large water jets were used at the height of the blaze and firefighters were still damping down this morning.

Fire investigators are currently at the site.

Six appliances – from Keighley, Shipley, Bingley, Fairweather Green and Silsden – plus specialist units from as far afield as Bradford and Batley, attended.

The alarm was raised shortly after 5.30pm yesterday.
