A Cancer Research facility at a hospital in Manchester has caught fire.
In a statement Greater Manchester Police said: "We were called at 10.36am this morning to a building fire at the Christie on Wilmslow Road".
Patients were evacuated from a hospital in Manchester as a fire blazed on the roof of the cancer research unit.
No patients or staff were harmed in the fire, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to The Independent.
All the associated areas have been evacuated including any patient areas. The fire service is on site.
Staff and patients at areas of the hospital unaffected by the fire have been advised to continue as normal.
It is thought the fire broke out in the plant room of the building and everyone was evacuated safely.

The building, formerly known as the Paterson Building, has been evacuated.
Sixteen fire engines are now battling the flames that have been brought under control.
Dozens of firefighters were attempting to salvage cancer equipment last night after a blaze in a research building attached to the world-renowned Christie cancer hospital.
A huge plume of smoke was seen towering from the Christie hospital, where five fire engines have been sent to tackle to blaze.
"Everyone has been evacuated safely from the building and the university is supporting the emergency services in managing the incident".
A spokesman added to The Express: "There has been a fire on The Paterson Institute roof". "We've been told we can go back in in the next few hours but it doesn't look like we'll be able to by the look of things".
