A fire broke out at the Etihad Stadium just before Manchester City's Champions League match against Club Brugge, near the entrance to the Colin Bell West Stand. The fire occurred while City was unveiling new January signings, prompting swift action from emergency services, which confirmed that the fire was extinguished without any reported casualties. Manchester City reassured fans that the match would go on as scheduled, although all planned events at the West Stand reception were canceled to prioritize safety. Firefighters addressed the situation promptly, with no delays affecting the game.
Emergency services are present at the scene and the fire has now been extinguished. The safety of all attending the match tonight is our top priority.
Just before 6pm this evening, two fire engines from Blackley and Philips Park fire station were called to reports of a building fire involving an outbuilding on the car park.
