Bristol University Fire: Students Evacuated From Library As Firefighters Tackle Blaze

'Everyone is accounted for'.

About 1,400 vehicles have been destroyed as a fire engulfed a multi-storey car park next to the Echo Arena in Liverpool.

Crews rescued two dogs from one of the vehicles inside car park as they battled the blaze, the fire service said. They were thought to be the only animals in the park at the time.

The area has a capacity of 1,600 cars - and 1,400 vehicles were estimated to be parked at the time of the blaze, with all of them destroyed.

Liverpool's mayor, Joe Anderson, said the blaze started in a Land Rover on the third level of the multi-storey car park - and police believe this caused other vehicles to ignite.

The huge blaze next to the Echo Arena, which is on the city's waterfront, forced organisers to cancel the Liverpool International Horse Show.

Horses which were on the first level of the car park when the fire broke out were moved into the arena.
