Prettytom Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I’ve never been up the tower. Does it have a wooden floor? Thats what seems to be burning in the videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's orange netting. https://news.sky.com/story/blackpool-tower-on-fire-13038705 There'll be some red faces.... In a statement on Thursday afternoon, Lancashire Police said: "Our helicopter has flown over the tower and there is no fire. We can confirm what can be seen is orange netting. "One man has been arrested on suspicion of Breach of the Peace and is being transported to custody." Good job the police were there then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
