Homes evacuated after gas blaze
More than 60 people were forced to leave their homes when a gas cylinder caught fire in a Bradford street.

Houses were evacuated after crews were called to Florence Street just before 2100 BST on Monday where an acetylene cylinder was on fire.

Residents were moved to the Richard Dunn sports centre and remained there overnight while firefighters tackled the blaze.

Crews remained on the scene on Tuesday cooling the cylinder.
