The cause of a fire which engulfed two double-decker buses is being investigated, the fire service has said.

Fire crews were called to Broad Lane in Bramley, Leeds, just before 20:00 BST on Monday to reports of the blaze.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said a building that housed the two vehicles had been "100% involved" in the fire.

No-one was injured, and the cause of the fire had yet to be established, the service said.

Five engines attended the scene and a road closure was in place.

West Yorkshire Police have been approached for further information.
