Liverpool Echo Arena car park fire destroys 1,400 vehicles
1 January 2018
A huge fire has destroyed up to 1,400 vehicles in a multi-storey car park in Liverpool, forcing many people to spend New Year's Eve in a temporary shelter.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said the blaze at King's Dock - next to the Liverpool Echo Arena - was one of the worst it had ever dealt with.
An accidental fire in one car which spread to other vehicles appeared to have been the cause, police said.
Nearby apartments were evacuated due to smoke.
