following the fire on Mottram Road(Image: Submitted) Smoke was sent billowing across part of Tameside this afternoon after a fire broke out at a house.


Fire crews raced to Mottram Road in Stalybridge after the blaze broke out, shortly after midday.


‌ The patio door of the property went up in flames, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue (GMRS) said.


‌ One local said the fire appeared to be coming from the back garden. They said it 'quickly caught fire' and 'got large immediately.'


A neighbour with a hose helped douse water on it before firefighters arrived they said, adding it was 'very scary.'


A GMFRS spokesperson said: “At around 12.05pm today (Saturday 31 May), four fire engines from Stalybridge, Mossley, Hyde and Hollins fire stations attended a house fire involving a patio


door on Mottram Road, Stalybridge.

and make the area safe.


"Crews departed after roughly one hour and 30 minutes in attendance."
