Plumes of black smoke erupted from a blaze in a quiet housing estate this evening.
Black smoke could be seen miles away as a shed caught fire in Southport. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service confirmed they were called to a shed blaze on Colchester Road at around 5.20pm today (Sunday, May 1). Crews attended the scene and were there for more than an hour and a half putting the fire out.
The shed, roughly 10m x 10m, was "well alight" when fire engines arrived at the house. MFRS also confirmed that there was one occupier of the house at the scene who suffered minor burns.
