A huge fire broke out in Ashton-under-Lyne, where a large fireball and black smoke was seen coming from a residential building.
Eyewitness Steph O'Neill told the Mirror that at least two men believed to be in the flat said they were sleeping at the time, but the fire woke them up and they "ran straight out" with "little clothes on."
She said: "The men who were in the flat out safe [are] both shook up but OK... they said they [were] sleeping and the fire had just woke them up so they ran straight out.
