Fire fighters try to put out a tyre fire in Spring Mill Street off Manchester Road. A MASSIVE tyre fire in Bradford last month led to similar sites across West Yorkshire being inspected, and highlighted the danger of such sites to fire services across the country. West Yorkshire Fire Authority held its first meeting since the blaze at Upper Castle Street last month. The incident involved a former go karting site where over 600,000 tyres were being stored. The blaze began in the early morning on November 16, and the fire service did not declare the incident fully closed until December 5. Over 100 firefighters dealt with the incident along with police, Bradford Council and the Environment Agency.
