Crews spent 12 hours dampening a large fire at a house in Oldham overnight, which police now believe could've been caused deliberately. Emergency services rushed to the blaze at the detached house on Derby Street, shortly before 1am on Tuesday morning (July 26).
It was not until after midday that the fire was eventually dampened. Greater Manchester Police cordoned off the area outside the property throughout the day, with the house visibly left scorched on the ground floor afterwards.
Videos from the fire show huge plumes of smoke billowing from the ground floor window of the detached home. It took four fire engines to eventually put the fire out.
