Two women and a man, who were believed to have been sleeping inside the vacant office building, were led to safety but did not need medical treatment.

A spokesman for Barker Storey Matthews, chartered surveyors, which has the property on its books said: "Hardly any damage was caused. It was only a small fire but there was a lot of smoke. The property should have been empty."
