100 firefighters called to Lancashire business park fire
Over 100 firefighters attended a huge fire at the Lancashire Enterprise Business Park in Leyland at about 5pm on Wednesday.
Residents living close to the fire were told to stay indoors because of the smoke. Surrounding roads were closed and parts of the West Coast Main Line were shut down.
The fire is thought to have started in a building storing toilet paper and had spread to a neighbouring building which contained chemicals.
A Police spokesman reported that there were no casualties: “We would like to reassure people that at this time there is nothing to suggest anybody is any danger.”
Paul Richardson from the fire service, said the fire would probably burn for “two to three days at least”.
A investigation by police and fire crews will be carried out to determine the cause of the fire.
