Firefighters were called to an apartment block in Salford after a blaze started inside a bin.
Residents spotted two fire engines at Vimto Gardens, in Chapel Street, just before 10am this morning (Sunday).
The fire was quickly extinguished by crews from Salford Community Fire Station who were at the scene for less than an hour.
A spokesman from the station confirmed that the fire was contained in one bin which was located in a store in a car park below the apartments.
Nobody was injured.
Smoke from the blaze could be seen for several streets around the area.
It is the second fire to break out in the area in the last two months.
In early March, five fire engines were called to Vimto Gardens after a dishwasher caught fire at Le Cassi's restaurant.
The are was closed off for around an hour while emergency services dealt with the flames.
