ONE person was left with facial burns after a blaze on Wednesday.

Firefighters were called to the scene of the fire, at an outbuilding in Ainsworth, shortly before 3pm.

Two engines from Bury and Bolton Central fire stations arrived at the scene to find some timber and fence panels ablaze.

The fire service confirmed that one occupier of the property, in Harley Avenue, suffered "superficial" burns to their face during the incident.

They were treated by a fire service trauma technician and declined treatment at hospital.

Crews carried out a home safety assessment at the affected property and a neighbouring building before leaving and spent approximately one hour at the scene.
