AN investigation is underway after a fire at a Victorian Mill.
The incident happened at around 9pm in Gorse Street in Blackburn last night on the fifth floor of the five storey building.

Firefighters are still investigating the cause but there has been no suggestions it was started deliberately.
A fire service spokesman said: "We were at the scene approximately one and a half hours.
