A woman has tragically died after a house fire said to have 'spread' along a number of homes on a terraced street.
Greater Manchester Police said she was 42 and that she passed away at the scene 'despite the best efforts of first responders'. There's been no confirmation as yet of any other casualties.
Emergency services were called to Saint Thomas Street North in the Werneth area of Oldham at around 4.10pm on Saturday afternoon. The incident led to the evacuation of a number of homes, with Oldham Council tonight said to be providing temporary accommodation to residents affected.
