Roof completely destroyed by overnight blaze at Blackpool house fire

Fire crews are at the scene of a blaze in Berwick Road that began in the early hours of this morning.

The roof of the dormer style bungalow has been destroyed with the roof joists clearly seen, blackened by fire and smoke.

One occupant was thankfully led to safety by fire crews who attended with four fire engines and an aerial appliance.

Crews from Blackpool, St Annes and Lytham were called to the South Shore property at 1.07am. Firefighers tackled the blaze using breathing apparatus, two hose reels and two jets to extinguish the fire.

It is still an ongoing situation with damping down operations.
