Eyewitness praises firefighters' speed

An eyewitness has given us account of what’s happened so far:

I saw fire engines gong past and I went outside. Firefighters got into the building really fast.

I could see smoke coming out the back of the building - but no flames and there are a lot of people outside.

There was an ambulance and a rapid response vehicle there

I do think the speed and organisation of the firefighters stopped it spreading and they had it under control pretty quickly
