A WOMAN and two children fled from a house in Wigan Road, Leigh on Monday night after a chip pan overheated, starting a blaze which gutted the kitchen.
The trio fortunately were uninjured and did not require hospital treatment but the kitchen was destroyed and smoke damaged other parts of the house.
A fire service spokesman said the occupants were alerted by a smoke alarm.
