Firefighters spent several hours tackling a fire at a factory in Burnley last night.
Crews were called to the industrial unit in Holmes Street at 8.20pm, where the 30metre-squared building was well ablaze.
Extra precautions had to be taken due to its asbestos-lined roof.
Fire crews are back at the scene today to check the building is safe.
