Crews from Atherton, Hindley, Leigh and Farnworth fire stations attended and worked to bring the fire under control.
A GMFRS spokesperson said: “At around 6.20pm on Wednesday 6 May, five fire engines from Atherton, Hindley, Leigh and Farnworth fire stations attended a derelict building at the junction of Common Lane and Ellesmere Street, Tyldesley.
“Firefighters were on the scene extinguishing a fire involving a derelict farmhouse using hose reel.

Firefighters used hose reels to tackle the blaze, with operations later reduced as the situation improved.
However, crews continue to remain in attendance as they deal with the aftermath of the fire.
