Fire alert caused by unattended pan on cooker

TWO fire engines were sent to a smoke-filled flat in Froghall Lane, Warrington around midnight – and discovered the cause was an unattended pan on a cooker.
The crews from Warringto and Birchwood used a ventilation unit to clear smoke from the property.
Smoke alarms had alerted the occupiers to the problem.
After ventilating the flat and ensuring everything was safe, firefighters gave cooking safety advice to the occupiers before leaving. There were no reports of anyone being harmed.
