A major fire has broken out at an industrial estate in Blackburn, with firefighters working to control the blaze. The fire spread to the two-storey complex, located on Croft Head Road, at around 7:45 pm on Tuesday night. Local authorities have closed roads in the area between the junction of Croft Head Road and Lower Philips Road, and have urged nearby residents to keep their windows and doors shut if they smell smoke.
The Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service has advised people to steer clear of the area as they contain the fire. Currently, firefighters are working to put out the blaze and prevent it from spreading any further across the industrial estate. While the cause of the fire is still unknown, investigations are ongoing to determine how the fire started.
