It is this shocking scene that a massive blaze envelopes a Manchester bar at a New Years Eve celebration.
After the flames broke out during end-of-year celebrations, emergency services raced to One Eight Six Bar on Deansgate.
After three others were given treatment for smoke inhalation, two men needed to be transported to the hospital.
The investigation is continuing into the incident that occurred just moments after customers called in for the New Year.
The video footage captures a group of revellers with what appears to be sprinklers before one accidentally lights the decorations on fire.
As others race to leave the scene, another party-goer drags a woman from her seat and takes it away from the eye of fire.
The fire alarm was then extinguished by someone who ran in to the scene with a fire extinguisher. Around 170 people were evacuated.
