A police investigation is under way after a fire started at a house in the early hours.
Firefighters were called to Warwick Road in Atherton at 2am on Wednesday when a blaze began in a cupboard under the stairs at a semi-detached house.
They spent three hours putting out the fire, which damaged the cupboard and also affected the electricity supply and internal water pipes.
No-one was in the property at the time and police have been informed amid concerns the fire may have been started deliberately.
