Residents have relived Monday’s devastating blaze in Longridge as locals tell of the 'massive flames' engulfing the building and the terrifying speed that the fire spread.
One resident who saw the blaze on the night, Connor Fitzpatrick, said: “I walked down Green Nook Lane to have a look and saw massive flames spreading across the back of the building. The fire service was doing a brilliant job. It was terrifying to see how fast it was spreading.
Ribble Valley Borough Councillor, Kieren Spencer, saw the aftermath of the blaze as he visited the site to do what he could to help. He told The Post: “The fire at the Butlers Cheese plant is the most significant incident I have seen in Longridge in my lifetime.
