Drone photos of Wolverhampton commercial units gutted by fire show extent of damage
New drone photos show the extent of damage at a set of Wolverhampton commercial units wrecked by fire overnight.
Emergency crews were called to the commercial building off Hickman Avenue hosting Motox 1911 car breakers at about 8.45pm on Friday, to reports of a large blaze inside.
Black smoke could be seen pouring into the sky for miles around. Three fire engines initially responded but as many as 12 were in attendance later that night as calls came in from across the city.
Crews worked through the night, first to extinguish the flames then to make the building as safe as possible.
The firefighters had to work on the outside of the structure due to the "internal collapse of the building", the fire service said.
On Saturday morning a spokesperson for the fire service said crews were still in attendance as of 8.30am and would be returning to check on the building throughout the course of today.
Police were also on the scene on Saturday morning.
