Firefighters tacked two major fires at derelict buildings in Burnley.
The incidents happened on Queens Lancashire Way and Railway Street over the weekend.
Four fire engines from Hyndburn, Haslingden, Padiham and Nelson and the Aerial Ladder Platform (ALP) from Preston attended the incident on Queens Lancashire Way.
Firefighters used one hose reel, one jet, two breathing apparatus, a triple extension ladder, an ALP and a 13.5 metre ladder to extinguish the fire and remained on scene for five hours.

Busy night attending two suspicious fires in #Burnley town centre. Both fires taking up considerable @LancashireFRS resource, take fire engines away from potentially attending more life risk incidents and put #firefighters at needless risk. @burnleycouncil pic.twitter.com/su0uKj86FE
