FIVE fire engines and a hydraulic platform were called out to a property in Winsford this morning, Monday, after a solar panel caught fire.
Crews from Winsford, Middlewich, Northwich, Holmes Chapel and Chester attended the two-storey house on Longmynd Rise at 11.25am.
The fire involved the roof and four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reels and a main water jet to extinguish it.
Roof spaces in adjoining properties were checked for spread of fire.
Power supplies were isolated by gas and electricity companies.
Crews exposed the roof and a thermal imaging camera was used to check the area for signs of fire.
