Fire crews rushed to Buckshaw Village to rescue a frightened dog from a fire at a home.
At 1.10pm yesterday fire crews from Leyland and Chorley were dispatched to a home on Heyford Avenue in Buckshaw Village.
On arrival, they found a vehicle well alight on a driveway, with the fire beginning to spread into the front of the property.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel to extinguish the fire, preventing further spread.
A thorough search of the smoke-logged property was carried out.
Thankfully, there were no reported casualties, and one dog was safely rescued by crews.
A spokesperson for the fire service said: “A reminder to ensure working smoke alarms are fitted on every level of your home, they really do save lives.”
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service has been approached for further comment.
