As a consequence, the area has seen many traffic closures. If as all possible, stay away from the region and adjust your itinerary appropriately. It is still unknown what caused the fire.
“We currently have eight fire engines and two aerial ladder platforms at a fire on Wilton Parade, Blackpool,” a Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said.
“The fire involves a derelict building and as a result people close to the incident are advised to keep windows and doors shut and if possible, avoid the area, as there are road closures in place.”
