Fire crews were at the scene for more than five hours after a blaze started on the second floor of the building
An investigation into a fire which started at a derelict nursery in Southport is still unable to progress two months later due to the building's instability.
The three-storey building is believed to have been left empty for years despite a planning application being approved to turn it into flats. In the days that followed the fire, the service confirmed that due to the grounds of the property being deemed unsafe, it was unable to investigate the cause of the incident.
Now, more than two months later, MFRS has confirmed that an investigation into the fire is yet to get underway for that reason. A spokesperson told the ECHO on February 9: "It has not been possible to carry out a full investigation into the cause of the fire due to the stability and integrity of the building."
Speaking to the ECHO the day after the blaze he said: "I saw the blue lights outside and came out. I undid the gate for the emergency services because they were trying to get in the other side.
