THREE fire crews were called out to tackle a fire at a takeaway at Grappenhall on Sunday afternoon.

At 15:13 fire engines from Penketh, Warrington and Altrincham were called to reports of a fire at commercial premises on Knutsford Road, Grappenhall, Warrington.

Firefighters in breathing apparatus put out the fire using a hose reel jet and a dry powder extinguisher. A high-pressure fan was used to clear the smoke.
A fire investigation was undertaken and it is believed the fire was caused by an electrical fault. There were no casualties.

Fire appliances attended from Altrincham, Penketh and Warrington ??
Good job no one was in danger then!
Isn’t there a fire appliance or two just up the road; a road on which the appliance doesn’t have to travel through towns and villages , or is it just an unmanned nice new building?..
