Blackpool Tower not on fire

[Gothdad]

How?

I wouldn’t thought it would be open during holiday time

It is open. At this time of year there are loads of bus trips into Blackpool for "Twixmas" breaks.

Apparently there aren't any donkeys there at the moment due to this 100 day cough pandemic.

They're all hoarse.

Didn't even look like a fire in the first place

Blackpool Tower 'fire' was fluttering orange netting

Police say the "fire" was actually "lights on a reflective netting surface at the top of the tower".
