An investigation is underway following a large fire in Middleton yesterday evening.
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service remain on scene with four fire engines.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: “Crews have continued to make good progress overnight and, as a result, have scaled back our presence at this incident.

“An investigation will be carried out to determine the cause of the fire.”
Greater Manchester Police are also on scene, supporting GMFRS colleagues with the investigation.
