Warburtons factory fire in Burnley

A large-scale fire has broken out at the Warburtons bread manufacturing facility in Burnley, triggering a major emergency operation.

Twelve fire engines and an aerial ladder platform were deployed to combat the blaze, which reportedly started on a production line.

Smoke from the factory was visible across Lancashire, and several road cordons have been established for public safety.
