FIREFIGHTERS were called to a home in Widnes this afternoon after reports of smoke coming out of the property.
Two fire engines from Widnes were on the scene on Mill Lane at around 2pm.
The crews discovered smoke coming from the house's main electrical supply under the stairs.
They carried out a full inspection of the property and then climbed onto the home's slate roof where they used a thermal imaging camera to check for hot areas and fire.
Luckily there were no casualties reported at the scene.
