Former factory in Blackpool goes up in flames
10:04am Wednesday 9th July 2008
A factory in Blackpool went up in flames this morning after a blast brought the roof down.
Three fire crews were called to the former J W Price engineering works just before 7.30am this morning.
A huge blaze was ripping through the building, on Selbourne Road, at the time, but the fire was extinguished fairly quickly once the firefighters arrived on the scene.
An investigation into the cause of the blaze will start today but the incident is being treated as suspicious.
