AROUND 40 firefighters from across Lancashire, including crews from Burnley and Blackburn, are tackling a major fire in Fleetwood.

Emergency services were first called to the derelict property in Jameson Road at around 3.45pm today.

And as the fire devastated the 40-metre long property, extra resources were drafted in from East Lancashire just after 5pm.

A Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman confirmed that there were now six appliances in attendance at the scene, including the turntable ladder and other specialist teams.
