Two people were treated by ambulance crews after a fire broke out in a derelict building in Bedford town centre.
Fire crews from Bedford, Kempston and Leighton Buzzard were called out at 6.52pm on Monday (22 April) evening to a fire in a derelict commercial building in Gadsby Street, off Mill Street in Bedford town centre.
It was formerly the location of the Reuse Centre.
In a statement, Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reels and jets to extinguish the fire in the two storey building. Positive pressure fans were also used to clear the smoke.
“Two people exited the building and were left in the care of an ambulance crew.”
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
