THREE adults were treated for smoke inhalation after a weekend bedroom blaze.

The fire, involving a quantity of clothing, happened in the bedroom of a house in Standmore Road, Whitefield. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus put the burning material into a bowl of water.

The occupants, two males and a female, had oxygen administered by fire crews but declined hospital treatment. The cause of the fire is being put down to carelessly discarded smoking material.

Firefighters from Whitefield and Broughton spent 40 minutes at the scene on Saturday evening (April 17).
