Firefighters battle flats blaze on Lancaster estate
Firefighters battled a blaze at a small block of flats in Lancaster.
The fire broke out in Bronte House on Shakespeare Road on the Vale estate just after 1.30pm on Tuesday August 26.
Six fire engines and the aerial ladder platform were called to the scene, and firefighters using breathing apparatus and the aerial ladder tackled the blaze.
Several roads in the immediate area were temporarily closed, with crews in attendance from Morecambe, Hornby, Bolton-le-Sands, Carnforth, Garstang and Wesham.
The building was made safe and secure overnight, with gas and electricity disconnected as a precaution.
Lancaster City Council later confirmed there were no casualties and they were working to rehouse people where necessary.
A spokesperson said: “Council officers have been liaising with residents and working to provide emergency accommodation for those affected, although some residents have found their own alternative accommodation.
“Our priority is the wellbeing and security of all the residents affected, and we will continue to work closely with them.”
