Major incident declared as blaze rips through takeaway and baby treated
A major incident has been declared after a fire broke out at a restaurant in West Yorkshire.

A number of people were initially unaccounted for, but this is no longer the case, a fire spokeswoman told the BBC.

"We hope to be open in time for the 4:40pm showing of Asteroid City and the 4:45pm screening of Elemental today."
