A fire in the early hours of this morning has caused “significant damage” to a former gospel hall in Belfast.
The fire service attended the scene on the Shankill Road at around 2.30am on Saturday, June 6. Three appliances attended from Springfield, Westland, and Central fire stations alongside a Turntable Ladder appliance.
Officers forced entry to the building, with a drone and jets also used to tackle the blaze. Images from the scene show the road was sealed off for a period of time, but has since reopened.
A spokesperson for the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service said no injuries were reported but “significant damage” was caused to the building. Fire crews were in attendance at the scene until around 5am.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The PSNI have been contacted for comment.
