A QUICK thinking neighbour grabbed an extinguisher and put out a chip pan fire at a house in Berry Street, Burnley.

The fire started at about 11.30pm yesterday when Sharon Lord put the chip pan on and then answered a phone call.

But the neighbour ran into the house and put out the blaze.

The fire damaged the kitchen and units and smoke damaged the kitchen and lounge.
