Wigan borough firefighters battle blaze in industrial bread oven
A fire crew from Atherton came to the rescue when a commercial oven in a bread factory went up in flames.
The blaze was reported at an industrial unit on Great Bank Street, Westhoughton, at 9.30pm last night (Monday March 16).
Thick smoke was filling the building and production had stopped.
Crew members, wearing breathing gear, tackled the fire and then scraped and hosed out the burnt materials from the oven bottom and ventilated the premises.
They were there for about two hours.
