Smoke could still be smelt 12 hours after firefighters fought a blaze that ripped through a derelict former nursery.
Firefighters were called to Scarisbrick New Road and Chambres Road in Southport around 5.21pm last night, where they found the building well alight, with flames coming out of the roof.
Nearly five hours later, at 10.16pm fire crews were able to leave, having extinguished the fire and made scene safe.
