AN elderly woman escaped from a house fire in Lower Row, Nelson, after smelling the smoke.
Fire crews from Nelson and Colne fire stations were called to the bathroom fire on Saturday at 4.20pm.
The woman had managed to leave the house before fire crews arrived. The fire was caused by repair work carried out in the bathroom.
Fire fighters are advising people to get smoke alarms fitted in the run up to Christmas.
