25 firefighters have worked to extinguish a major blaze at a derelict house in Trowbridge.
Four fire crews could be seen battling the significant building fire in Stallard Street at 5pm, but are thought to have been called to the scene at around 4.20pm this afternoon.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service sent engines from Trowbridge, Melksham, Westbury and Warminster. An aerial appliance from Salisbury was also supporting local crews.
Locals say drug users have in the past inhabited the former Bowyers site, and youths are often seen entering to explore or hang around in the building.
The fire service has confirmed nobody was inside or injured in the incident.
The cause of the blaze is not yet known.
A spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service commented: “Eight breathing apparatus wearers, two hose reel jets and one main jet was used to extinguish the fire and make the derelict building safe.”
