A red and white fire and rescue service tape cordons off the area around the former Billingham library building, which has been gutted by fire. The building has no roof. The side of the building facing the camera would have had a metal structure or cladding, but it is charred by the fire and partly destroyed. The cordon tape is set around a birch tree on a grassed area outside the building.
