Huge fire at Blackpool nightclub
Firefighters from Preston, Lancashire were drafted in to help tackle a large scale fire at a nightclub on the Fylde coast.
The crew of five travelled to Blackpool with their fire engine while crews from the resort tackled the fire at the Trades club in Chadwick Street which started at around 4am on 31st October.
Local residents were forced to evacuated and spend the night in emergency accommodation.
A spokesman for the fire service said: “Unfortunately a lot of the evidence on how the fire started has been destroyed in the demolition of the first floor to make the building safe for residents. However, police are looking at CCTV and talking to people in the area to find out how it started.”
An investigation is now underway but initial thoughts are that the fire may have been started deliberately.
