FIREFIGHTERS rushed to a kitchen fire in an apartment block in the town centre.
A blaze ripped through a kitchen in an apartment at The Rock yesterday morning, causing firefighters to issue a warning to switch off appliances at night.
Firefighters arrived to tackle the fire just before 9am and crews from Bury and Whitefield fire stations were at the scene for around two hours as they made the flat safe. No one was injured.
The Bury fire station watch manager said: "There was no fire spread to the rest of the flat, but there was quite a bit of smoke in the apartment. It's a reminder to everyone to switch off appliances at night."
