FIREFIGHTERS spent an hour last night dealing with a rubbish blaze in a derelict Burnley building.

Crews from Burnley attended the scene on Finsley Gate at 8.26pm.

A Lancashire Fire Service spokesman said: "A member of the public contacted us about the fire.

"It looked as if it was started deliberately and is being investigated and was just in some rubbish.

"We would urge people not to enter derelict buildings as all the floors were dangerous and you have the possibility of it collapsing."
