People were forced to wait for hours outside a city centre hotel without shoes on after a fire broke out.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) confirmed it was called just after 8.30pm to Tune Hotel on Castle Street in the city centre after a fire broke out on the second floor of the hotel. The service confirmed one person was rescued from the fire and given first aid at the scene.,
The road was cordoned off for around an hour and a half as emergency services descended onto the busy road, with Rox, Sanctuary Tap and Queen Avenue being forced to shut due to the cordon. People gathered outside the cordon as they patiently waited to be let back in, with some having to evacuate with nothing on their feet.
