Location: Liverpool City Centre
Fire crews have been called to a high rise building fire on Brook Street, Liverpool L3 this afternoon, with four fire engines and an aerial appliance in attendance at the peak of the incident.
Crews arrived to find a fire on the roof of the building, around the 40th floor. Crews worked on the roof material to expose the area and enable access to extinguish the fire.
A contractor on scene was suffering minor burns, with fire crews administering first aid. An ambulance was requested for further assessment of the casualty, who was not required to go to hospital.
After the fire was extinguished on the roof, crews checked lower floors for smoke travel after alarms actuated and detected no smoke travel through the building.
Crews continued to monitor the area with Thermal Imaging Cameras and remain on scene.
