FIREFIGHTERS were called to a popular fish and chip shop in Penketh where a deep fat fryer was in flames.

Two crews from Penketh Fire Station arrived at Harry's Fish Bar at around 7.25pm last night, Monday.

Luckily the small fire had already been put out and firefighters inspected the kitchen to make sure it was safe.

A thermal imaging camera was also used to make sure there were no remaining spots of heat.

And fortunately nobody was reported hurt.
