A man was dragged to safety from a burning house in Abbey Hey, Gorton, on Monday evening (April 11). The blaze broke out at a terraced home on Kenyon Street at around 7pm.
The male, whose age is not yet known, was unconscious but breathing when fire crews ran inside and managed to drag him to safety through the smoke. His condition was described as 'poor' but he was immediately rushed to hospital for treatment.
Numerous fire engines attended the scene shortly after 7pm, with a cordon erected in the back alley behind the home. Officers from Greater Manchester Police and North West Ambulance Service paramedics remained at the scene into the evening.
