Serious flat fire in Sandbach

Wednesday, June 20th 2012 18:29

Investigation launched into the cause

An investigation is underway into a fire at a flat in Sandbach.

Crews were called out to the property above a shop on Congleton Road around 1:30pm this afternoon.

Initially it was thought someone was in the flat so firefighters wearing breathing apparatus carried out a search.

All persons have been accounted for.

Five engines were used to extinguish the blaze.

Crew Manager John Brownrigg said: "Firefighters did a great job under very difficult conditions to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to neighbouring properties."

One fire engine will remain at the scene this evening.
