A building has been taped off at New Islington<\/a> marina after a fire broke out overnight.<\/p>\n

Crews were called out to the scene at around 1am this morning (July 29) as a fire ripped through the marina’s shower, toilet and office block, between Cotton Field Park and Co-op Academy New Islington.<\/p>\n

Firefighters spent more than four hours working at the scene, while a cordon remains in place around the building this morning, with a Greater Manchester Police<\/a> PCSO also in attendance.<\/p>\n

Details on the cause of the fire are yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Footage from the early hours of the morning showed smoke billowing from the site, on the opposite side of the marina to the New Islington apartments.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: “Just after 1am this morning (Tuesday, July 29), four fire engines from Manchester Central<\/a>, Philips Park and Blackley<\/a> fire stations were called to reports of a building fire involving a shower and toilet facility outbuilding on Old Mill Street, Manchester.<\/p>\n

“Firefighters were in attendance for around four-and-a-half hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
