A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: "At around 3.30am this morning (Monday 18 April) we were called to a report of a fire on Pentland Terrace, Bolton. The fire involved an outbuilding and had spread to the ground floor and first floor of a house, also reaching the roof space. “Three fire engines from Bolton Central and Bolton North fire stations were quickly mobilised to the scene, and firefighters wearing breathing apparatus worked hard to tackle the blaze in sectors using three hose reels. GMFRS crews were in attendance at the scene for just over three hours. The occupant of the property was alerted to the fire by a smoke alarm, and we want to take this opportunity to stress the importance of regularly testing your smoke alarms to ensure they are working properly."
