The family who were caught up in a fire at their house this morning (Friday 8 August) have been given the all clear by doctors.

Charlene Bowker, whose house was damaged by the fire, contacted Rochdale Online and said: “Just wanted you to know we are all safe and well. We have been given the all clear.”

Unfortunately as a result of the fire, the family home has been damaged beyond repair.

Charlene added: “My house has been destroyed.”
