Fire breaks out at wine bar in Preston city centre as public urged to stay away

Four fire engines from Preston, Fulwood and Penwortham were called to an incident at a “domestic property” in Mount Street at around 12.45pm on Wednesday (August 16).

The aerial ladder platform from Preston also attended the scene.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reel jets to extinguish the flames.

Hartleys Wine Bar took to social media after the fire broke out to urge the public to stay away.

“We’re [on] fire. Please stay away,” a spokesman said.
