THE bedroom of a first-floor flat in Farnworth was destroyed when a cigarette was not put out properly.
Firefighters were called to Rose Avenue by neighbours because there was no-one in the property at the time.
The damage was extensive, with 50 per cent of the flat damaged by smoke, because there was no smoke alarm fitted.
