The evening sky at St Helens was lit red yesterday as a dramatic fire ravaged a warehouse in the Merseyside town.
Crews from the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service arrived on the scene at 8.15pm last night, Sunday, June 26, as a huge fire tore through a large single storey warehouse on Manor Street, St Helens. Four fire engines and an aerial appliance then began fighting the blaze, which had engulfed the 20 by 30 metre building, with a main branch hose.
Fire crews used compressed air foam to protect neighbouring buildings. Soon a total of seven fire engines were on scene to tackle the blaze.
