FIRE officers are warning people about the dangers of leaving candles unattended after a blaze yesterday afternoon.
Crews were called to a property in Martindale Gardens, Bolton, after fire broke out just after 4pm.
A fire spokesman said the candle had set alight paper which then spread to an electricity meter.
A woman was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation.
Nick Pyne, Watch Manager, said: “Always blow out the candle if you leave the room.”
