A massive blaze swept through a furniture warehouse in Little Lever.
More than 20 firefighters battled to contain the blaze for up to two hours this morning at the disused firm in Tong Road.
The warehouse was well alight when neighbours spotted the blaze and raised the alarm shortly after 10am on Thursday.
Vandals have been blamed for starting the fire in the single storey former premises of the Tong Road Furniture Factory.
Firemen wearing breathing apparatus were at the scene for more than two hours and had to remove the warehouse roof to bring the fire under control.
