Footage shows the moment thick black smoke poured over back gardens as a fire broke out at a derelict church.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service confirmed crews were called to the closed-down Maghull Methodist Church on Tuesday afternoon after a fire broke out at the empty hut on the church grounds. The church closed in September 2021, with a planning application being submitted for the demolition of the building.
Firefighters received the call at 4.36pm on Tuesday, April 4, before arriving at the scene at 4.45pm. Four fire engines arrived to find the single-storey building was involved in the fire.
