Two teenagers have been arrested after a huge fire ripped through a former hotel in Blackpool this week.
Fire crews were called to the former New Hacketts Hotel, which was well alight, at around 2.48pm on Monday, April 24. There were 12 fire engines at the scene, on Queens Promenade, as "irreparable damage" was caused to the building.
Lancashire police has confirmed the building will now need to be demolished. Lancs Live reported two teenagers, an 18-year-old man, and a 16-year-old boy, have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
