Candle causes house fire

Date published: 11 July 2011


Just before midnight on Thursday 7 July, fire crews from Rochdale and Heywood were called to a house fire on Daventry Road, Kirkholt, Rochdale.

On their arrival they found a fire in a first floor bedroom that had started when a candle had been left unattended and caught fire to a small section of furniture.

Fire-fighters used a water hose reel to put out the fire and a fan to extract smoke from the house.
