An MP has renewed her pledge to fight for improved fire safety in high rise tower blocks after a blaze caused the evacuation of a block of flats.

Leeds MP Rachel Reeves has campaigned for improved inspections and safety at the city’s residential blocks.

The Leeds West MP said: “My thoughts go out to residents in Poplar Court after the very worrying fire reported earlier this morning.

Six fire engines have rushed to the scene of a fire which engulfed a high-rise block of flats. 

“I would like to thank the emergency services for their swift response in tackling the blaze and for ensuring the safety of local people living in the high rise blocks, and surrounding houses in Bramley.

“Whilst a full investigation into the circumstances of this fire must be carried out, I want to assure local residents that I am doing everything in my power to support them after this incident, and that I will continue to fight for improved fire safety in all high rises.”

Six fire engines have rushed to the scene of a fire which engulfed a high-rise block of flats. 

A West Yorkshire Fire Service spokesperson said: “Two fire engines remain at the scene.

“The Fire Service is assessing the damage with Leeds City Council and whether anyone needs to be rehomed following the fire.

“A fire investigation officer is on the scene looking into the cause of the fire.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
