A farmer has denied menacing firemen trying to put out a blaze.

It is alleged William Threlfall, 63, of Close Lane, Hindley, obstructed crews by threatening violence and using plant machinery last April 3.

Wigan justices adjourned the case until July 20 for a trial and Threlfall was released on bail.
