Firefighters were busy over the weekend.
Firefighters rescued two people from a house fire in Chorley and battled a portable loo fire over the weekend.
They attended two incidents on Saturday evening.
At 18.21pm four fire engines from Chorley, Bamber Bridge and Leyland attended a house fire at Gloucester Road, Chorley.
The fire involved an electric mobility scooter at a domestic property.
On arrival, crews found an electric mobility scooter on fire.
The resident had removed the scooter from the property prior to fire service arrival, preventing further fire spread within the home.
Two casualties were treated by firefighters for smoke inhalation and subsequently handed into the care of North West Ambulance Service.
Crews were in attendance for approximately one hour and twenty minutes.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said: “These type of incidents highlight the importance of prompt action during emergencies and the need for working smoke alarms in the home.”
At 20.38pm firefighters rushed to a fire in the open.
Crews discovered a portable loo well alight on a building site.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel jet to extinguish the fire.
