FIRE crews were called to a popular former fish and chip shop late on Thursday night.
Fire engines from Warrington and Penketh went to the former Papa’s on School Brow just after 11pm.
The building has been empty since the eaterie, which was a winner of a National Fish and Chip award, closed earlier this year.
Firefighters say a wheelie bin had been set on fire.
Crews checked the fire hadn’t spread to the property nearby before making the area safe.
