Firefighters spent two hours battling a fire in a derelict building in Muirhouse Avenue last night.
Three fire appliances from Crewe Toll attended the incident after the alarm was raised at 9.20pm. Crews discovered a fire in the ground floor of the derelict domestic property and two firefighters in breathing apparatus used high-pressure hose reels to tackle the blaze.
The fire spread to the first floor, but was put out with a high-pressure hose reel and crews using a short extension ladder. Following further safety inspections and damping down fire crews left at 11pm.
The Muirhouse Avenue building is one of two due for demolition as part of the Muirhouse Pennywell regeneration programme.
