Fire inside old Salford Smart Body Repair Shop on Ford Lane


A fire broke out at an unused garage in Salford last night.

Fire crews were called at around 8.15pm to the corner of Greenwood Street and Ford Lane.

The fire was inside a garage thought to be the abandoned Salford Smart Body Repair Shop, which is part of the old Mainline building.

Three appliances from Salford and Agecroft were scrambled to the scene.

Crews used two breathing kits and a hose reel to extinguish the fire.

A high powered fan and thermal imaging camera were also used.

Firefighters were on scene for one hour and ten minutes, no injuries reported.
