CREWS RACED TO THE SCENE AFTER THE BLAZE BROKE OUT 15:18, 31 May 2025 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. Article continues below “Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus arrived

minutes in attendance." -- _Day in day out, our reporters in the Manchester Evening News newsroom bring you remarkable stories from all aspects of Mancunian life. However, with the pace
