Mr Rogerson said no-one was in the building at the time and that the cause of the fire was under investigation.

He added: "We have done a really good job because we have stopped it spreading to different buildings. It was a well-developed fire in the roof and we have stopped it spreading. I think we have done a good job."

A spokesman for Odsal fire station said the blaze could be seen as crews drove down Manchester Road, and added: "It looked quite spectacular"

"Crews did a good job."
