Fire service shares Hotspur Press update as cordon remains 11 days on from blaze
Hotspur Press is being inspected every day after last week's devastating blaze - but the site remains unsafe. Flames soared from the historic former mill last Monday afternoon (June 23), with an inferno leaving much of the building crumbling to the ground. The Manchester Evening News revealed on Wednesday how the city centre site has been deemed 'too unsafe' for a full investigation into the cause of the fire to begin.

In an update shared this morning (Friday), Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) confirmed it was continuing to inspect the building for any hot spots, with work to determine the 'next steps' for the site still ongoing. A GMFRS spokesperson said: "The fire at Hotspur Press has been extinguished and the building remains cordoned off for peoples' safety with crews inspecting the building daily to check for hot spots. "GMFRS is working closely with Greater Manchester Police, local authority partners and the building owners to work on next steps and ensure a safe and thorough investigation can be completed." Around 140 residents were forced to evacuate nearby apartments after the fire broke out last Monday. A major incident was declared and later stood down. A cordon remains on Cambridge Street surrounding the Hotspur Press site. A spokesperson for MCR Property Group, which owns the site, said earlier this week: "We continue to work with our development partner Manner, alongside GMFRS, GMP and Manchester City Council's Planning and Building Control teams, to manage the Hotspur Press site following the fire.

"This process is being undertaken carefully and in stages, with every effort made to retain as much of the building as possible, in line with structural guidance." The Hotspur Press site was earmarked for redevelopment by Manner, with the façade and iconic 'Percy Brothers' signage due to be retained.
