Warning after skip fire
Firefighters have urged people to have skips removed when they are full after a blaze in Wigan.
Crews from Wigan fire station were called to Sledbrook Street, Pemberton, at 2.30am today.
A skip on the road was alight and heat radiating from the fire caused the window panes of the house to break.
A fire service spokesman said: “When people’s skips are full, they should get them collected in a timely fashion.”
