A woman who woke up purely by chance during a blaze at her Blackburn home was described as “incredibly lucky” by firefighters.
Watch Manager Chris Fogarty said: “There was nothing to warn her about the fire, as there were no smoke alarms in the property.”
The fire caused severe damage to the woman’s bedroom and smoke damage to the hallway at the property in Infirmary Street.
