A fire that led to a main road in Merseyside shutting for hours is yet to be investigated more than two months later.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service were called to a derelict nursery on the corner of Scarisbrick New Road and Chambres Road in Southport on Thursday, January 19, at around 5.21pm after reports of a blaze. Three fire engines were on the scene along with an aerial appliance, with Merseyside Police shutting a portion of Scarisbrick New Road.
The building was found to have a fire on the second floor and on the roof of the property. It wasn't until almost five hours later that MFRS crews were able to leave the scene, with the last of the firefighters leaving at around 10.16pm.
