AN investigation is underway into a fire at a commercial garage which required six fire engines to tackle today, August 20.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue was called out to the blaze at 10.26am in Collins Street, Crewe, where the single-storey garage was well alight.

Two fire engines from Crewe, one from Nantwich, one from Sandbach, one from Alsager, the aerial ladder and accompanying fire engine from Lymm were all sent out to the incident.

Crews used two main jets and a covering jet to fight the fire, while a cordon was set up around the incident and the electrical supply was isolated.

The crews worked to protect a workshop on the site, and the Environment Agency was contacted due to water run off entering a nearby brook.

Police attended to deal with road closures.
