Firefighters tackled a fire which broke out in the living room late last night.
Emergency services were called to Little Lever late last night (April 22) and remained into the early hours of this morning, with four fire engines and a police van visible on the scene.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) have confirmed that no injuries were reported.
The fire was in the living room of a ground floor flat on Dukes Avenue, Little Lever - a block of houses located next to Kershaw Avenue.
The fire service received the call last night at around 11:15pm, with engines from Farnworth, Bolton Central, Bolton North and Whitefield fire stations in attendance.
There was also a police van on the scene of the incident.
Residents from neighbouring flats had to exit their buildings and move over to a nearby lawn.
People had to wait to go back into their homes.
Little Lever and Darcy Lever Councillor David Meehan said: "I saw what had happened this morning on Facebook.
"I hope that everyone involved is ok and that there's no injuries."
