Emergency crews tackled the nightclub blaze
A nightclub in South Yorkshire is collapsing in a fire.
Emergency crews were called to the Gatecrasher One nightclub in Eyre Street, Sheffield, just after 1700 BST on Monday.
A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said five crews - about 25 firefighters - were at the scene tackling the blaze.
Officers moved members of the public away from the scene as bricks and other debris fell from the building.
A number of roads around the area, including Matilda Street and Arundel Street, were cordoned off by police.
Smoke from the venue, which is one of Sheffield's biggest nightclubs, could be seen for miles across the city.
Eyewitnesses said plumes of smoke gradually spread across the city centre and turned from a dark grey colour to thick white to yellow cloud.
Sheffield city centre resident Kirsten Law said: "I was on the phone when I first noticed it and thought the whole development was on fire.
"I've had to go around closing all the windows because the smell of the smoke's so strong and have been watching the charred bits fly past the window, and I'm on the other side of town from Gatecrasher." |
