Ashton launderette closed until further notice after fire

Wednesday, 14 August 2024 11:24

An Ashton launderette has closed indefinitely after a fire broke out on the premises this morning, August 14.

Just before 7:30am, three fire engines were called to the Wash & Dry Launderette on Whitacre Road and were in attendance for around 90 minutes. It is currently believed that the fire started in the bin.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: “Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used hose reels and a positive pressure ventilation fan to extinguish the fire."

In a post to Facebook, the business has now apologised for any inconvenience and announced that it will remain closed until further notice.
