Date published: 08 August 2014


A five-year-old girl was rescued from a house fire and taken to hospital this morning (Friday 8 August).

She was “conscious and breathing” but an ambulance was requested as a precaution and the girl was taken to hospital for effects of slight smoke inhalation.

Firefighters were called to a semi-detached house on Holborn Street, Rochdale at 2.35am to reports that a fire had broken out in the bathroom.

Two crews from Rochdale attended the scene and quickly extinguished the fire. A fan was later used to clear the property of smoke.
