Fortune teller's shop catches fire on Blackpool Prom

Footage appears to show the shop, near the Royal Windsor hotel, well-alight when fire crews arrived at the scene at around 10pm.

Further footage also appears to show damage to a sweets and souvenir shop next door.

Four fire engines attended the scene whilst a stretch of the Prom was cordoned off by police.

Firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus used hose reels to extinguish the fire.

A fire service spokesman said: "At 9.56pm, four fire engines from South Shore, Blackpool and Bispham attended an incident on the Promenade, Blackpool.

"The fire involved the ground floor of a commercial property.

"Firefighters used six breathing apparatus and three hose reels to extinguish the blaze and remained at the scene for several hours overnight."

Flats above the shop, and a fish and chip shop next door, do not appear to have been damaged.

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said a joint investigation into the cause of the fire is underway with Lancashire Police.

No injuries have been reported.
