    Lancashire Police say they're not treating the massive fire in Blackpool last weekend as suspicious.

    At its height, 15 fire engines were tackling the flames at the Smart Mart Furniture store on Waterloo Road. Local residents had to be evacuated as thick black smoke billowed into the sky late on Friday night. Crews were on site all weekend damping down

    Lancashire fire and rescue say the incident has now been handed over to Blackpool council with the cause yet to be determined.
