THESE are the first pictures of the aftermath of a devastating fire that ripped through The Bureau Centre for the Arts in Blackburn.
At its peak up to 70 firefighters were battling the inferno that swept through the grade II-listed building at 5.20am.
However as the fire was brought under control the operation was scaled back and fire crews were stood down.
A fence has been erected around the site as fire investigators inspect the building.
