Two people have been rescued from a blaze at a block of flats in Blackpool town centre.

The man and woman were helped to safety from a second floor flat at the back of the four-storey building in Queen Street, at around 9.05pm yesterday.

They were given a check-up by paramedics but escaped serious harm.

Others managed to get out before crews from Blackpool, Bispham, and South Shore fire stations arrived.

Fire investigators are now working to establish a cause, though police say initial findings show the blaze may have been started deliberately.
