- description: A suspected fire that broke out at the top of Blackpool Tower was actually just “orange netting” blowing in the wind, police have said. The suspected blaze was first reported at around 2.15pm today. Lancashire firefighters cordoned off the tower and sent six fire engines and a drone team. Videos showed what appeared to be orange flames at the top of the structure. But when Lancashire Police sent up a helicopter to assess the situation, they saw it was a false alarm. #Blackpool #Tower #Fire Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
