A FIRE broke out at a house on Sunningdale Close in Burtonwood last night, Tuesday.

Firefighters were called to the scene at a semi detached house at around 8pm.

Four firefighters put on breathing apparatus and used hose reel jets and a covering jet to put out the flames.

The fire was caused by an electrical box and smoke alarms warned residents of the danger.

A large fan was used to clear smoke from the property and luckily no casualties were reported.
