Three fire engines called to tackle fire at McDonald's restaurant in Burnley's St James Street
The fire service was called out to McDonald’s restaurant in Burnley town centre after smoke was spotted coming from the side of the building.
The fire, believed to have been caused by a discarded cigarette that had been pushed into the wall, was dealt with by three fire engines from Burnley, Nelson and Hyndburn, who were at the scene for around 40 minutes after the call out came just before noon.
Firefighters used one hose reel, a triple extension ladder, a Milwaukee reciprocating saw and a thermal imaging camera to extinguish the fire.
