FIREFIGHTERS were called to a tower block in Chester in the early hours of this morning (Sunday, November 17) following reports of a fire.

Two fire crews arrived at the scene at Glyn Garth, Blacon at around 3am.

Crews found a small fire involving rubbish in a first-floor bin chute.

Firefighters used a hose reel and two breathing apparatus to put out the fire, then used a large fan to clear smoke from the lobby area.
