Part of Chadwick Road in Eccles was cordoned off on Monday evening after a fire broke out at a derelict building, prompting a response from three fire engines.
Crews from Stretford, Agecroft and Eccles fire stations arrived shortly after 7pm and remained at the scene for over an hour, according to a spokesperson from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS).
The building was at the junction with Mather Avenue, with concerned residents in the area saying they “heard the sirens” and that they were “praying for anyone who might’ve been harmed.”
No one is said to be injured.
The GMFRS spokesperson affirmed that: “Crews arrived quickly and used one hose reel, two breathing apparatus and other specialist equipment to extinguish the fire. Firefighters made the area safe before departing after approximately one hour and 10 minutes at the scene.”
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
