Breaking News – Scaffolding and wall collapse in Bradford…

Sniffer dogs searching rubble for possible victims.

Police are at the scene of a city centre demolition site this morning after a wall and scaffolding collapsed, causing major disruption.

Part of a wall at the site of the former Thompson Mill, in Tetley Street, Bradford, which was destroyed by fire last October, collapsed yesterday, bringing down scaffolding along with it.

Mark Rogerson, watch commander at Bradford fire station, said crews used thermal imaging cameras and a sniffer dog to make sure there was nobody trapped under the rubble.

He said: “The building itself is down, but they left up the external walls which go around the outside of the site and around the outside of that was the scaffolding which they had been using.”
