FIREFIGHTERS tackled a blaze which raged through the night at a disused Brierfield mill.
Fire crews were called to the former Pre Cast factory in Walter Street at about 1.30am today to a blaze in a two-storey section of the building.
Up to 20 firefighters from Nelson and Burnley fought the blaze which destroyed a section of the mill. Leading firefighter Roy Waddington said the blaze had kept the crews at the scene for most of the night.
