A person has been treated for smoke inhalation after an out-of-control garden fire spread to a nearby commercial building with flats above it near Crewe.
On Monday 16 June, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service were alerted to an incident on Newcastle Road, Shavington.
At 1am, two fire engines from Crewe and one from Nantwich arrived at the scene, discovering a blaze that was growing in size.
South Cheshire firefighters used two hose reel jets and a safety jet to extinguish the flmaes.
Everyone inside the buildings were accounted for, with paramedics treating an individual at the scene.
The fire is not believed to be suspicious, with no serious injuries sustained.

"All persons were accounted for, and one casualty was treated by paramedics on scene for smoke inhalation.
