He added that a joint investigation between the force and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) was under way and investigators now believed "the most likely cause [of the fire] was a battery on an e-scooter".
LFRS area manager Mark Hutton said fires involving lithium-ion batteries were "becoming more common and tend to start and grow very quickly".
"E-bikes and e-scooters should only be purchased from reputable retailers and should always be used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions," he said.
He added that people should only ever charge batteries while awake "using the charger supplied" and do so in a place that is "well away" from escape routes.
