VIDEO: FIREFIGHTERS were called out to tackle a blaze at a takeway on Bridge Street, Warrington on Friday night.
The fire broke out at the Piri Piri Chicken premises and spread to a neighbouring property.
Four fire crews tackled the blaze as thick black smoke billowed from the premises.
Crews found that the takeaway was well alight on arrival and crews, four wearing breathing apparatus, used two hose reel jets, two main jets, a covering jet and a large fan to extinguish the fire.
Crews were in attendance for four hours. An investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
Following the fire neighbouring premises Shawarma X Press, which was also badly damaged posted on social media:
