Todmorden fire: Blaze shuts main road through Calderdale town centre and puts bus station out of action
A fire has closed a major route through Calderdale.
Burnley Road in Todmorden town centre has been shut in both directions between Queen Street and Ridge Road by a building blaze.
Metro has said that the fire means buses are unable to serve Todmorden Bus Station, with all services having to divert.
Five crews and an aerial ladder were scrambled to the blaze after being alerted at 11.09pm yesterday.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the building on fire was derelict and the flames were in the roof.
"Currently we just have one crew at the scene checking for hotspots,” said the spokesperson at 10am.
Fire investigators were also due to attend.
The road was still reported as shut at noon.
