Sounds like the fire crews were on the ball. I just googled Bolton and it threw up pictures of the rather grand town hall, did they copy the Leeds one?

Two people have been injured after a large fire broke out at student accommodation in Bolton, Greater Manchester.
At least 40 fire crews were tackling the Friday night blaze at the six-storey building known as The Cube on Bradshawgate. It was evacuated and one witness said flames were "crawling up the cladding like it was nothing". Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said two people were treated for injuries at the scene. One of the patients had been rescued by crews using an aerial platform. The fire service was called at 8.30pm. The blaze was still going on Saturday morning. "We have divided the fire itself into four sectors of firefighting, allowing us to target our efforts on particular hotspots," the fire service area manager Jim Hutton said in a statement. "While the building does remain on fire, we are doing all we can to stay on top of this situation and soon extinguish the flames." |
