Fire and Rescue responds to reported gas leak in Tonge
Firefighters attended Tonge Moor Road at around 10.04 pm on Sunday, May 24, alongside engineers from Cadent Gas.
Residents reported seeing emergency services outside the property, with one fire engine leaving shortly after arriving, near to the Crompton Way junction.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: “Two fire engines from Bolton North and Bolton Central fire stations were called to reports of a suspected gas leak at a house on Tonge Moor Road, Bolton.

“Crews arrived quickly at the scene. Firefighters used a gas detector to check the house and neighbouring properties for signs of a leak, working alongside gas engineers from Cadent Gas to ensure safety of the area.
“No abnormal gas readings were detected.”
Cadent Gas engineers remained at the scene after firefighters left to carry out further checks on the gas supply.
GMFRS said firefighters were in attendance for around 21 minutes, and the incident no longer required fire service involvement.
