EMERGENCY services have been called to a blaze at a building in Ellesmere Port.
Four fire engines, including an aerial appliance, attended the incident at the New Creation Centre on Station Road shortly before 4.45pm.
The inside of the building appears to have suffered extensive damage as a result of the blaze.
Police have cordoned off the site.
A video from the scene, captured by Grant Bird, showed smoke billowing out of the property, which is close to the train station.
The premises adjoins the former Station Hotel pub which was also the subject of a fire back in August.
Crews from Ellesmere Port, Powey Lane, Chester and Frodsham all attended the incident.
In its first update, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Firefighters have been called to smoke issuing from an empty building in Station Road, Ellesmere Port.
"Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the building to find the source of the smoke and have located a seat of fire in one location.
"They are currently using a hose reel jet to put out the fire.
A further update at 5.50pm stated: "The fire is now out and some firefighters are leaving the building having done a final check of the building.
"Some crews remain to check the roof space with the aid of a 7 metre ladder and a thermal imaging camera."
Shortly after 6.07pm, just one fire engine remained at the scene.
