Pictures show the scale of damage to an abandoned hospital in a fire described as the "worst ever".
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) received a 999 call at around 4.07pm on Wednesday, July 20, following reports of a huge fire at Park House on Haigh Road in Waterloo. Four fire engines arrived at the scene nine minutes later and found two floors of the three-storey building well alight.
The fire then started reaching the roof of the building and another two fire engines as well as an aerial appliance rushed to the scene with ambulance crews and Merseyside Police. A number of roads were closed, causing lots of delays for commuters on Crosby Road South and areas surrounding Haigh Road.
