Staff have been evacuated from an office building in the city centre after a fire broke out there this morning. Firefighters were called to the building before 10.45am today, setting up a cordon and urging nearby residents to close their windows against the smoke.
While the fire service has not confirmed the exact location of the fire, pictures from the scene appear to show the affected building is the Lloyds offices. Crews from Temple, Bedminster, Avonmouth, Southmead, Kingswood, Hicks Gate and Pill all responded to the city-centre blaze and were still on the scene an hour later.
A spokesperson said: “All persons have been safely evacuated from the building and there are no casualties.”
