FIREFIGHTERS had to break into a house to tackle a fire in the loft in Farnworth.

Crews from Bolton Central and Farnworth fire stations were called out to a blaze in the loft of a house on Clifton Street at 11.10am on Wednesday, January 25.

The crews broke into the house and four firefighters in breathing apparatus tackled the blaze with a hose reel.

No one had been in the house at the time of the fire, which is believed to have started as the result of an electrical fault.

Firefighters will be going back to do a Home Safety Check.
