FIRE swept through the upper floors of a Blackburn fun pub, causing extensive damage.
Fire crews were called to Crackers in Regent Street, after a policeman spotted smoke coming through the upstairs windows.
Mr Adrian Garner, pub landlord said: "The fire was caused by an electrical fault. There has been a lot of damage to the upstairs but we hope to be open as usual tonight."
