A NEIGHBOUR was treated for smoke inhalation after a fire started next door to her home in Smithwood Avenue, Hindley.
Fire crews were called to the house at 12.30am today and managed to restrict the fire, which is thought to have been caused by a discarded cigarette, to one room. The rest of the house was smoke damaged.
The owner of the house escaped without injury, but a woman next door suffered smoke inhalation.
