Firefighters tackle blaze at three-storey terrace house in Salford

A devastating blaze ripped through a historic Georgian house in Salford in the early hours of the morning. 

Fire crews were called to the terraced property on The Crescent at around 3.45am on Wednesday (November 11). 

It is believed the fire started on the ground floor of the Grade II listed three-storey home. 

Three fire engines from Salford and Manchester central stations were dispatched and crews spent around two hours at the scene. 

Neighbouring properties were also checked to rule out fire spread or gas leaks.

The cause of the blaze has not yet been determined.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: "At around 3.45am on Wednesday 11 November, firefighters were called to reports of a fire on the ground floor of a three storey mid-terrace house on the A6 in Salford, adjacent to Massey Street.

"Three fire engines from Salford and Manchester Central stations were quickly on the scene and crews used two hoses, four breath apparatus and a ventilation fan to extinguish the flames. 

“Firefighters then conducted checks of neighbouring properties to rule out fire spread or gas leaks. 

"GMFRS remained at the scene for two hours."
