Town centre fire drama draws crowds as derelict mill gutted
picture and story by Ben Carlish
FIRE-FIGHTERS evac uated a man from his house and ordered other terrified residents to stay indoors as a fire tore through the wing of;a derelict warehouse in
p.m. several 999 calls were received from residents of Highfield Road, who spot ted smoke billowing from the old warehouse opposite their homes, previously owned by the furniture manufacturing firm of Bowker Brothers and to be the site of the new Sains- bury’s superstore. Workmen from Slaid-
Clitheroe on Monday. At approximately 5-30
- burn-based Ashworth Demolition fled from the building as the blaze spread up to the wooden roof beams and surged through the warehouse. It was ini tially feared that four of the workmen, who had been clearing old furniture from the warehouse, were trapped in the burning building, but they were soon located outside and no one was injured. Within minutes of the
Mark rescues a baby from blaze
A LOCAL student was cuing a baby girl from a
blaze starting, flames began to pour through the roof. Fire-fighters scurried for cover as the building's asbestos roofing started to pop, showering large smouldering chunks down on the street." Police cordoned off the
Whalley Road, Sabden, ran into the smoke-filled house on Friday night after hear ing calls for help and res cued a 21-month-old baby stranded in her bedroom. Mark, a computer sci

area as dozens of people, many of whom had been celebrating England's victo ry against Tunisia in their opening World Cup match, gathered to watch the spec tacle. Excited children raced around on cycles try ing to get the best vantage point. Fire-fighters hurried ly pulled their visors down as the roof cavity was pep pered by small explosions. Five pump engines were called into use from Clitheroe and Great Har wood as the battle against the blaze continued. Units remained there until mid night. Two men wearing brea
thing apparatus were sent into the building, but were rapidly withdrawn, when it became apparent that the burning roof was going to cave in. A mobile aerial lad der platform arrived on the scene from Blackburn, which allowed fire-fighters to dampen down the flames from above, lessening the risk of injury. A special damage control unit attend ed from Burnley, as did an instant support unit from Accrington. Clitheroe Sub officer Dave Frankland said that had the fire spread throughout the whole ware house complex it could have been a very dangerous situ ation. Overall, it had been a testing, but successful operation. Workmen said they

baby and baby-sitter were all taken to Middlesbrough General Hospital and treat ed for the effects of smoke inhalation. The baby was back home with her family the following day. Back home in Sabden on
heard someone screaming for help from a house across the street. He said they understood
that a 15-year-old youth who had been baby-sitting had fallen asleep, leaving a chip pan unattended. Mark and his friend,
Paul Littler, ran into the blazing house, but were at first beaten back by thick black smoke. Mark said they went back outside and a woman passed him an apron which he wrapped around his head, and they went back inside, got the baby from the shocked
Sunday, Mark said he just acted instinctively. "We heard people shouting that a baby was inside the house and we just ran in. The smoke was so bad we had to come back out for some thing to put over our faces, then we went back in. The baby-sitter was upstairs with the baby, we grabbed her and ran out." The baby's grateful fami

after the rescue praised the courage of the two students and said the consequences could have been a lot worse if they had not acted so auicklv.
