To celebrate the fact that Blackpool Tower was never actually on fire enjoy these 19 memes

Not the entire nation getting catfished by a piece of orange netting


Yesterday we got the news that a fire had broken out at the top of Blackpool Tower, and we all mentally prepared ourselves for one of the UK’s iconic landmarks to be burned to a crisp. Only for it to be revealed that there was never a fire at Blackpool Tower, and someone had mistaken a piece of orange netting for flames. I would be so mortified I’d go into hiding.

So, in what is possibly the most fitting end to 2023, let’s celebrate the fact that Blackpool Tower is still standing with these 19 fire memes. And yes, that sounded funnier in my head.
