Firefighters have returned to a building to extinguish several hotspots following a blaze there on Thursday.

The operation was undertaken in the early hours of Friday, with a second follow-up visit later in the morning revealing no more hotspots at the site on Princip Street in the Newtown area of Birmingham.

West Midlands Fire Service had originally attended shortly after 09:00 BST on Thursday, with the fire affecting the top floor and roof of the derelict, two-storey premises.

There were no reports of injuries and everyone had been accounted for, the fire service said, adding flames were put out on Thursday by about 11:00 BST and the operation had been supported by the use of a drone.
