TWO appliances from Hyndburn Fire Station were called out to a fire in the kitchen of an empty cafe in Oswaldtwistle earlier this evening.
The crews were despatched about 6pm.
There was no-one in Gobbiners Cafe on Union Road at the time of the blaze or in the flat above.
Watch manager Emma Price said: "Four breathing apparatus were used to put the fire out.
"It appears to have started in a fryer.
"The fire was contained to the kitchen which suffered damage,
"The rest of the cafe was heavily smoke-logged.
"There was no danger to adjoining properties or the empty flat above and obviously no casualties.
"An investigation into the cause of the fire is under way."
