Footage shows damage to derelict Leeds care home as firefighters called to blaze
The abandoned care home was already falling into disrepair
Footage shows damage to a derelict care home in Leeds following a fire.
Emergency services were called out to the Grade II-listed Moorfield House in Moortown shortly before 11.45pm yesterday (Monday September 14).
Six crews and an aerial ladder attended and used jets, a hose reel and breathing apparatus to extinguish the blaze.
The cause of the fire is being investigated, a spokesperson for the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed.
Footage from the scene - which you can watch at the top of this article - shows significant damage to the roof of the building.
The 49-bed former care home home on Fieldhouse Walk has stood empty for around seven years after it closed following a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection.
Plans for 27 apartments at the vandalised site have been submitted and are under consideration by Leeds City Council.
Photographs in council reports have shown how the property’s condition worsened in between building surveys carried out in 2022 and 2025.
