A NEIGHBOUR saved a house in Roocroft Court, Brownlow Fold, Bolton, from being destroyed by fire.
A discarded match is believed to have ignited a waste bin in the kitchen of the property at 7.20pm on Sunday.
The owner was not in but a neighbour spotted smoke coming from a window and called the fire brigade.
The bin and a fridge were destroyed and the remainder of the ground floor suffered slight smoke damage.
