A YOUNG man accidentally set fire to the kitchen of his house in Farnworth.
Martin Warton, aged 19, of Westwood Close, had been making some chips -- only to forget he had left the pan on the cooker. Smoke engulfed the kitchen and fire destroyed the cooker.
Mr Warton was alerted by his smoke detector and escaped unhurt in the early hours of Sunday.
