Firefighters have been called to a derelict hotel in Sandown this evening (Tuesday).

Crews from Newport, Ryde, Sandown and Shanklin - along with the Aerial Ladder Platform - were called to reports of smoke pouring from the former Parkbury Hotel.

Additional support from crews at Cowes and East Cowes - and the Incident Command Unit - are also on scene.

The Broadway has been closed by police.

Crews have been using breathing apparatus to enter the building, along with hose reel jets, to put out the fire.

It’s not known at this stage what started the fire.

Extra crew cover is understood to have been drafted over from the mainland.
