FIREFIGHTERS extinguished a blaze that damaged the garage of a detached property in Ullswater Road, Flixton.

They used hose reels and jets to put out the fire after being called at 6.51pm on Saturday (November 5).

Ladders, small tools, high pressured fans and thermal imaging cameras were also used and the crews were on scene for three hours.

The fire was started accidentally by a plumber soldering pipework.
