No fire without smoke.

This was the scene in East Leeds at around 11am today.
The first thing you see when there is a fire is the Fire Engine racing off in some direction or other.
They couldn't quite get there first time and had to circle the York Road roundabout to gain access to the block.
The fire started on an area of the roof being renovated by workmen.
The building, being the highest point between Leeds and York, is also home to an array of microwave base-stations; it is not clear whether these were knocked out of service.

Incidentally, the building was saved. Within an hour the fire was extinguished and inspections were being carried out on the roof.
