Salvage workers had to be evacauted from the stricken Riverdance ferry on Saturday morning when a blaze broke out in a cargo hold.
Fire crews declared a full-scale emergency when two tractor units on board the ferry burst into flames.
No-one was injured but all workmen were evacuated from the vessel at 4.20am on Saturday.
Fire crews also withdrew to the Promenade shortly after due to the rising tide.
Up to 30 workers were evacuated.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "No persons are reported to be injured and all workmen on the vessel were evacuated.
"The tide is now rising and the firemen have withdrawn to the promenade."
The 6,000 ton ship has been left stuck in the sand on Cleveleys beach since she was struck by a freak wave during storms in January.
The Riverdance had been heading from Northern Ireland to Heysham, Lancashire, when it was hit by the wave on January 31.
Twenty-three people, including four passengers, were rescued by the RAF from the stricken vessel.
Heysham-based Hancock's Contractors have been cutting up the freight ship after experts said it would never sail again.
