AN 86-year-old woman was treated for the effects of breathing in smoke after her grill pan caught fire last night.
The woman was making toast but forgot about it when she was visited by a neighbour at the Stevenson Court old people's home, Bent Street, Kearsley. Firefighters were called to put out the fire and gave the woman oxygen. Her flat and the corridor outside were slightly damaged.
