TWENTY people had to be evacuated from a doctors’ surgery after staff smelled burning.

Firefighters attended Witton Medical Centre, in Preston Old Road, Blackburn, at around 3.30pm yesterday (Thurs) after a fluorescent light overheated.

Nobody was injured and the crew made sure the fitting was safe before the patients and staff returned to the building.
