Three people fled a fire that spread from a shed to flats nearby, the fire service has revealed. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service have revealed details of the incident in the Hurstead area of Rochdale on Friday morning.
The service said it received 'several' 999 reports of the blaze at Ralph Sherwin Court and it's understood the fire caused a large plume of smoke seen in the area. Four fire engines raced to the scene.
The service said three people 'self-rescued' before crews got there. They were assessed by paramedics at the scene, but North West Ambulance Service said thankfully no one was taken to hospital.
