Firefighters tackle blaze at Wigan home's garage

Three engines from Wigan and Hindley stations attended the incident at a home in Langholm Close, Winstanley, at 3.25pm on Sunday February 5.

Equipment used for car repairs was damaged, as was a motorbike in the garage but the crews managed to prevent the flames causing serious harm to the house to which it was attached.

The family of four who live at the address were evacuated while the fire was tackled.

Hindley crew manager Ben Kenny said that the cause of the blaze was not clear at the moment but there was certainly no evidence of deliberate ignition.
