FIREFIGHTERS tackled a blaze in Great Harwood last night after a boiler caught fire.

Crews were called to James Avenue just before 11pm on Sunday, February 24.

Richard Edney, of Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, said wiring above the boiler may have sparked the problem.

He said: "The wiring was completely destroyed. It was on top of the boiler. Firefighters from Hyndburn tackled the incident quickly."
