A fire has broken out at a hospital with reports claiming smoke was "filling up the corridors".
All three emergency services have been pictured at Leeds General Infirmary where local reports suggest a large fire has broken out and both patients and staff have been evacuated.
The Yorkshire Evening Post reports three fires have been set off deliberately in the hospital, though this has not been confirmed by official sources.
A man with former colleagues at the scene said smoke had filled the corridors in several areas.
A man quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post said: “I heard that the smoke was filling up the corridors from A and E up to ICU and Theatres (one level up).”
A police cordon had been put up outside the building and fire crews have been seen bagging evidence.
Buses are unable to go past the hospital, with First West Yorks tweeting: "Service 5 towards Albion Street - Due to an obstruction on Clarendon Way the service is currently following the 5A route. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused."
Neither police, the NHS trust or the fire service has yet responded to requests for comment from the press.
The Mirror has contacted the hospital and West Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service for comment.
Pictures and video posted on social media show multiple fire engines and police cars around the A&E tonight.
A police cordon as in place and officers were diverting traffic on the main road by the hospital.
Witnesses have taken to social media and have said that patients have been spotted being evacuated from the building on Great George Street.
The extent of the fire is not yet known and it is not clear whether or not anyone has been injured.
