Crews battling huge fire at derelict Liss care home as building collapses

Firefighters from multiple stations across Hampshire are battling a huge fire at a derelict care home on London Road, Liss.

The blaze, which started at 23:15 last night, engulfed the first, second, and third floors, as well as the roof of the building.

The structure of the building has since collapsed, causing debris and embers to fall.

Around 60 firefighters are working at the scene, using multiple hose reel jets and main jets to control the fire.

Crews from Odiham, Basingstoke, Fareham, Fleet, Bordon, Alton, Rushmoor, Grayshott, Havant, Liphook, Cosham, Southsea, and Portchester, along with an Aerial Ladder Platform and an Incident Command Unit, were involved in the response.

Authorities are asking the public to avoid the area due to emergency response.
