FIREFIGHTERS went to a house in Ellesmere Port in the early hours of this morning (Saturday) after reports that the property was on fire.

Crews discovered that the blaze, which had broken out at a house in Sandringham Gardens, involved curtains,and was already out when they arrived at the property.

They then discovered that a car at a neighbouring address in Buckingham Gardens had caught fire, so this was dealt with too.

Nobody was injured in either incidents.
