Fire crews from across West Yorkshire were on site within minutes
were on site within minutes after the blaze rapidly took hold of the vacant Leonardo Building on Cookridge Street.
The fire began just before 8pm on Saturday evening, with flames seen coming out the top of the multi-storey building near Millennium Square and Leeds General Infirmary. “It was dealt with quite quickly and crews worked fantastically hard to stop it spreading further or going into other nearby buildings,” Dale went on to say.“The initial incident commander did an excellent job in evacuating buildings around it, alleviating any risk and giving time to gets appliances in place. Once the fire was out, we were able to eventually let people back into those evacuated buildings and scale back our operation.”, and quickly took hold of the top three floors.
“The fire itself was in the wrap surrounding the building. It was the scaffolding which had caught fire, which made it difficult for crews to put out,” said Dale.“We had special appliances on scene including aerial ladders, with crews well trained to stop the fire from the outside. This then allowed us to put firefighters inside the building, creating a pinch point by stopping fire outside and inside at same time.
