Dog rescued by firefighters as blaze tears through three storey building in Lord Street
Firefighters brought the blaze under control quickly on Friday evening.
A dog was saved in a dramatic rescue as Blackpool firefighters tackled a fire at a terraced property in Lord Street on Friday evening.
Three fire engines from Blackpool, Bispham and South Shore arrived at the scene in Lord Street just before 7.30pm on Friday, August 14, as plumes of smoke filled the immediate area.
Several other residents were already safely outside the building when crews arrived. However, a dog was still trapped inside.
The dog was subsequently rescued by firefighters, but there are no further details about the condition of the dog.
Video posted to social media of the blaze showed flames licking at the ground floor windows, with thick black smoke pouring out of the building.
Firefighters at the scene tackled the blaze using breathing apparatus, a single jet, two hose reels and a 13.5-metre ladder to bring the fire under control.
The fire was fully extinguished by 11.45pm.
