Firefighters run towards the flames
One neighbour told SalfordOnline.com: “It’s literally five doors down from me.
“I heard what sounded like fireworks.
“Then my brother-in-law rang me to see what was happening because his house is directly across from it but over a field.
“The fire service arrived so quickly, it seemed to go down as soon as they got here.”
Black smoke turns white as the flames come down
Two crews from Farnworth and one crew from Agecroft spent over an hour at the property to make sure everyone was safe.
