FIREFIGHTERS from Oldham, Chadderton and Hollins worked through the night to contain a blaze at a Rhodes Bank business.
Flames were seen through the first floor window of Marshall Pumps at 12.45am on Monday and smoke was soon billowing out of second floor windows.
A team of 25 firefighters used five pumps and aerial equipment to extinguish the fire and were there until around 10am. A ground floor office has been severely damaged. An investigation into the cause of the fire has now been launched.
