A BLAZE broke out at a warehouse in Widnes yesterday.
Crews used five fire engines to tackle the flames at the large building in Foundry Lane, Halebank, owned by Eddie Stobart.
The fire started at around 11am on Sunday, January 18.
Firefighters from Widnes, Runcorn and Warrington dealt with the incident.
Five large fans were used to help bring the blaze under control.
A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “The cause of the fire is believed to be electrical.
“By 1pm the incident was dealt with and just one fire engine remained at the scene to assist an electrician in ensuring all of the warehouse’s electrics were turned off.”
