FIREFIGHTERS were called out to a house in Parr yesterday (Thursday, February 11) after a waste paper bin caught alight in the early hours of the morning.

Two fire engines from St Helens Community Fire Station and Newton-le-Willows attended the scene on Cotswold Grove just before 5am.

Crews used a bucket of water to put out the fire and carried out a home safety check. They left after around 15 minutes.
