Two arson attack suspects dumped fuel inside a DIY shop and then set fire to it - igniting a wall of fire captured in dramatic CCTV footage.
Police are now hunting the men who tried to torch the building in the early morning attack.
Footage shows the masked pair approaching the business as one holds a bucket containing an accelerant.
A second man hurls an object and smashes a window as the other man pours the liquid inside.
The second man then lights a match and holds it close to the window - setting off an explosion of flames.
With the side of the building in flames, the suspects flee before the fire brigade and police arrive on scene.
The fire was contained between the window and a metal shelving unit inside.
Lancashire Police released the video hoping it will help to identify the suspects.
Officers were called to the fire at the Burnley Electrical and DIY shop on Briercliffe Road in Burnley just after 3.30am on Saturday.
