Firefighters are tackling a blaze that has broken out on Chester Road in the early hours of this morning
The fire at the unoccupied Trafford Press building broke out just before 4.00am
Eight fire engines and other specialist appliances are currently at the scene. Firefighters are working hard to tackle the fire using four jets and two aerial ladder platforms.
Road closures are in place. Local residents are advised to keep their windows and doors closed and should avoid the area while firefighters carry out their work.
Firefighters are now working internally to extinguish the flames and are likely to be in attendance for the next few hours.
Smoke levels have been reduced, however the road closure is still in place. As this incident is close to Old Trafford Stadium, we recommend that anyone attending the football match at 12:30 should allow plenty of travel time.
