9 July 2021

The roof of a Burger King branch gutted by fire has collapsed.

A blaze broke out at the fast food restaurant at Clifton Moor, York, at about 14:40 BST on Thursday.

Firefighters were at the scene for about six hours as they brought the flames under control.

No-one was hurt, but the building, situated next to a large Tesco store in the retail park, suffered extensive damage.

Crews returned on Friday to check the site for any hotspots and are due to visit again later.
