FIREFIGHTERS were called to The Penny Black today for a fire in the pub's beer garden.
Fire engines from Northwich and Winsford were sent to the Wetherspoons pub in Witton Street at 1.05pm.
They found that the decking at the back of the pub was on fire.
A spokesman for Cheshire Fire Service said: "Firefighters were called to decking on fire at the rear of a pub in Witton Street, Northwich.
"Crews used a hose reel and gained access to underneath the decking to get better access to the fire and to allow for the use of the thermal imaging camera in the affected area."
