A fire that started inside a care home in Cheadle has been deemed accidental by firefighters.

Crews were sent to Church Terrace Nursing Home on The Terrace shortly before 12pm on Sunday (8 September) following reports of a fire.

Firefighters found an electrical fire inside one of the rooms after a full evacuation of the building was carried out.

The fire was out when we got there. Ventilation equipment was used to clear the corridor of smoke.

A woman was checked over my paramedics from West Midlands Ambulance Service as a precaution but no-one was injured.

After making sure the area was safe, crews left the scene.
