A discarded cigarette started a fire at a residential property in Warrington, earlier today.
Shortly before 11am two fire crews from Warrington and Birchwood were called to reports of fire at a residential building on Arena Gardens, Warrington.
The crew attended the scene and found that there had been a small fire caused by a discarded cigarette that was out on arrival.
Firefighters used a large fan to clear the smoke from the property and were detained at the scene for around 20 minutes.
