A house in Halliwell was severely damaged by fire earlier today. The fire at the empty terraced house in Clyde Street started in the ground floor front room at 7.15am, but the cause is not yet known.
The blaze caused considerable damage to the ground floor and left the house heavily smoke logged. Fire crews spent more than two hours at the scene and were trying to contact the owner in a bid to have the house boarded-up.
