CLOTHES left on a grill heater sparked a blaze in a bedroom of a Blackburn property.

Fire crew were called to the house on Shakeshaft Street, Audley at 10.27pm on Friday night after a neighbour noticed smoke coming from an upstairs room.

Crew from two fire engines used a hose reel and breathing apparatus to put out the fire and search the property. No one was injured.

The first floor of the property suffered from smoke damage.
