Police are now looking into the cause of an explosion at a block of flats in Skelmersdale.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, the North West Ambulance Service, and Lancashire Police rushed to Tanfields at around 6pm on Tuesday following an explosion at a flat. Once at the scene emergency services found a block of flats completely blown apart.
Pictures sent to the ECHO show the back of the flats, and you can see a fridge freezer hanging from the wreckage along with a two seater couch. In an update today, Lancashire Fire and Rescue said people who had to be evacuated were provided with alternative accommodation.
