Firefighters were called to a blaze in a furnace at Wigan Crematorium as a funeral was taking place.

They rushed to the centre in Lower Ince at around noon on Tuesday after getting a call for assistance.

The incident lasted around 30 minutes as three crews – two from Wigan and one from Atherton – contained the fire and offered safety advice.

The flames eventually died down and were monitored throughout.

It was caused by a malfunctioning furnace at the crematorium.
