THREE fire engines rushed to a blaze that started in a bedroom at a house in Warrington last night, Friday.

Paramedics also rushed to the scene, where it is believed they treated one person for smoke inhalation.

It’s not known whether the person was taken to hospital.

Fire crews from Warrington, Stockton Heath and Penketh all attended the house on Penketh Avenue, just before 9.30pm on Friday, March 31.

Four firefighters had to wear breathing equipment to enter the house, where they used a hose reel to douse with flames with water.

The building was thoroughly surveyed with a thermal imaging camera before firefighters left the scene.

The cause of the blaze is not yet known.

A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Firefighters were called to a fire involving a bedroom in a property in Warrington.

“Four firefighters wore breathing apparatus and used a hose reel to extinguish the flames inside the room.

“They then used a thermal imaging camera to check the property for spread of fire.

“Paramedics attended to help one casualty, believed to be suffering from smoke inhalation.”
