Crews from Blackpool, South Shore and Bispham were called out at 10.22pm to tackle the fire, which took nearly two hours to extinguish.

Firefighters had to use special 'breaking-in tools' to gain access to the burning building, before using breathing apparatus, hose reels and a positive pressure ventilation fan to bring it under control.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

A spokesman for the fire service said: "It is a commercial building that caught fire, but I don’t have any further information than that. The fire is still under investigation."
