FIREFIGHTERS from Northwich and Winsford tackled a garage fire in Davenham yesterday. 

Crews were called to the large fire in London Road at 9.44am.

A spokesman for Cheshire Fire Service said: "On arrival crews found a garage well alight.

"Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reel jets to extinguish the fire.

"Crews then damped down the area and used a thermal imaging camera to check for hotspots."

A man suffering from smoke inhalation was handed into the care of paramedics. 

Firefighters were at the scene for almost four hours.
