FIRE crews from Leigh and Atherton were called out to one address multiple times last night.

The crews were called to Glebe Street following reports of a timber fire.

A spokesperson from Leigh said the fire was being started by a group of adults, who repeatedly relit the flames resulting in the crew being called back to the scene.

Leigh visited the street three times, at 9pm, 9.35pm and 11.05pm.

A crew from Atherton also attended at midnight but the fire was extinguished on arrival.
