Crews put out the flames using two hose reels with the support of a covering jet.

A Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: "Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reels with the support of a covering jet to extinguish the fire.

"A large fan was then used to clear smoke. 

"The occupier of the premises was removed from the property and treated for smoke inhalation before being handed into the care of paramedics. 

An initial investigation from Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service suggests the blaze was started accidentally, through hot materials disposed of in a wheelie bin next to the property (Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service).

"Crews remained on scene to expose the structure of the conservatory to damp down and ensure the fire was fully extinguished."
