Four fire engines responded to an incident at a historic hotel in Blackpool on Friday morning (April 14).
Emergency services were called after a fire alarm was activated at Forshaws Hotel – formerly the Clifton Hotel – in Talbot Square at approximately 6am.
Four fire engines attended but on inspection it turned out to be a false alarm as there were no signs of a fire on arrival.
“The alarm had been activated by dust on a convection heater,” a spokesperson for Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service added.
