A FIRE broke out last night next to a house in Blackburn.

Firefighters say that two engines from Blackburn and Bamber Bridge were called to the blaze on Shadsworth Road in Blackburn at just after 9pm on the evening of Monday April 19.

The fire was underway at an outbuilding near a domestic property and the fire crews were able to use scene lighting and a hose reel to bring it under control.

Fortunately no injuries have been reported.
