Firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control at around 19:30 on 14 Aug 2026, when thick plumes of smoke were seen coming from the building.
While residents were already safely outside the building when crews arrived, a dog was still trapped inside which led to a dramatic rescue effort to save the pet.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said: “At 19:24 hours, three fire engines and an aerial appliance from Blackpool, Bispham and South Shore attended a fire at a three-storey mid-terraced property on Lord Street, Blackpool. Firefighters used four breathing apparatus, one jet, two hose reels, positive pressure ventilation and a 13.5-metre ladder to extinguish the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation.”
