Longridge house fire sees three vehicles burst into flames on driveway

Two fire engines were called to the home in Hollin Hall Drive, off Blackburn Road, at 10.46pm where they found three cars well alight in a driveway.

The fire also spread to a neighbouring home but no casualties were reported.

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service has not commented on the cause and whether the fire involved electric vehicles.

Crews from Chorley and South Shore, Blackpool tackled the car fire for nearly three hours on the same evening as 10 other engines and around 50 firefighters battled a huge blaze at an industrial estate just 1.5 miles away in Shay Lane.
