A BONFIRE attended by a Bury fire crew had a hidden surprise.

Beneath the blazing logs and timber piled on wasteland at Orwell Close in Bury was a new motor scooter.

"Whoever was responsible for the fire was obviously trying to disguise the fact that the scooter was in there," said a spokesman for Bury fire brigade whose crew attended the scene at 7.30pm on Friday (Oct 4).

"The scooter was burned beyond recognition and all we managed to save was a tyre."
