FIREFIGHTERS tackled a blaze at Earl's Plastics in Albert Mill, off St Hubert's Street, Great Harwood, on Saturday.

An electrical fault is believed to have started it, and the sprinkler system was activated.

Firefighters from the town's retained fire service were joined by colleagues from Accrington, and spent almost two hours at the scene.
