Firefighters are reminding people not to leave cooking unattended
Greater Manchester residents are being encouraged to take extra care when cooking following an incident at the weekend.
Station Manager Nick Hince said: "This is a timely reminder that you should never leave cooking unattended, a fire can start in a matter of seconds and the consequences can be severe.”
The fire service were called to an unattended cooker and needed five fire engines and a hydraulic platform.
High rise residents should ensure that they know what to do in the event of a fire, whether in their own flat or somewhere else. If you have a fire in your flat you should stay safe by getting out, staying out and calling 999.
