An investigation into a fire at a derelict building in Derby has not been able to find the cause "due to the structural integrity of the property".
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to a blaze at a former maternity hospital in Osmaston Road at about 13:00 BST on Wednesday.
On arrival, crews found "multiple seats of fire on the ground floor of the derelict property", with two hose reel jets and an aerial ladder platform used to bring them under control.
A spokesperson for the service said the investigation "has been unable to determine the cause".
