"One fire engine attended from Garforth Fire Station, two from Killingbeck, and one from Rothwell."
John Littler, who owns the yard behind Garforth Used Car Sales, where the fire broke out, said in the past they have had 'lots of trouble with kids lighting fires and setting fireworks off'.
However he claims nothing has ever been done about it. He said: "It tends to happen more when the nights get a bit darker.
"I heard a bang, and then heard fireworks, then we realised it was on fire."
