Crews called to fan fire

Extractor fan fire at Chiropractors on Yorkshire Street, Oldham.

FIREFIGHTERS turned out to a chiropractor in Oldham yesterday afternoon.

An extractor fan at Oldham Chiropractic and Physiotherapy Clinic, in Union Street, had overheated and caused a small fire.

Three pumps were called to the scene, though this was reduced to one, and crews remained at the site for around 30 minutes.

Practice manager Sam Jobey said: "We weren't sure what went wrong with the fan and wanted to take precautionary steps."

Watch manager Craig Rawlinson said: "There was overheated matter in the extractor fan.

"They had used a bucket of water prior to arrival.

"We carried out smoke clearing and checked everything was safe so that the business could re-open."
