There were dramatic scenes this morning (27th December), as at around 8am emergency services were alerted to a fire having broken out in a 10th floor flat at Mulberry Court in Pendleton, which is owned and operated by Salix Homes.
Miraculously no one was injured during the incident which saw 6 fire engines and a number of ambulances deployed.
All residents were successfully rescued and some were later allowed to return to their homes once the blaze was brought under control and extinguished.
Investigators are now working to determine just how the fire started.
A spokesperson for GMFRS, said:
