A HUGE blaze has broken out at a Blackpool hotel.
The Revills Hotel on the Promenade is engulfed in smoke and flames.
More than 40 firefighters from across the county are at the scene battling the blaze.
Scott Waters, 25, said: "I was driving past and there was smoke pouring out of the building. There were flames burstsing out of the first floor window and the windows had been blown out."
Police said the call came in to them at 5.35pm from the fire brigade and that the building was "well ablaze".
One officer described extensive charring on the front of the building and said the area was heavy with smoke.
The Promenade has been closed between Springfield Road and Cocker Street while firefighters douse the flames.
Onlookers have reported seeing flames shooting into the sky at the height of the blaze.
The fire could be seen as far away as Bispham.
