“Take care if you are in the area and allow space for the crews to access the area.”

According to another tweet by Iman, Abu Sulaym: “Jaamia Girls Darul Uloom, Bradford has caught fire. Alahmdulillah, no staff or students inside besides security.”

One local resident told reporters: “The main part of the school, the newer buildings look OK. It looks like the main old building…was on fire.”

Officials have not yet released any details as to the cause of the blaze.

A statement from the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘Crews from Fairweather Green, Odsal, Bradford, Leeds, Stanningley, Illingworth, Shipley & Halifax currently dealing with a building fire at a school on Thornton View Road, Bradford. ‘
