An examination has revealed that the damage caused by a fire in an apartment above a row of stores last week was so “extensive” that the origin of the blaze could not be identified.

Around 1:00 pm, seven fire engines arrived on the site, and cordons were put up on Thatto Heath Road while emergency personnel battled the fire.

As firefighters arrived, they discovered a first-floor apartment over a row of stores to be “well ablaze.”

According to the fire brigade, the fire was contained to the roof spaces of four terraced houses made of brick.

There was smoke coming from the buildings.

Road closures were implemented as firefighters battled the fire for more than six hours.

In an attempt to put out the fire, workers were observed using a crane to crack up the roof.

Following the incident, a representative for Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service stated: “On Monday afternoon, fire crews were alerted to a flat fire on Stevens Street, Scholes Lane, Thatto Heath, St Helens.

Seven fire engines and one aerial appliance are now on the scene, having been alerted at 12.59 p.m. and arriving at 1.04 p.m.

“A first-floor apartment over a series of stores was fully lit when the crew arrived. At the scene of the incident, the fire is inside the roof spaces of four terraced houses made of brick.”

He went on to say that everyone who was at the homes had been identified.

After putting out the fire, firefighters continued to monitor temperatures using a thermal imaging camera, address hotspots, and dampen the roof area using an aerial appliance.
