The balcony scene after one of the fires
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) is urging residents to use balconies safely and to never BBQ on balconies after two fires already during the recent warm weather.
Firefighters were called to two incidents on balconies last week.
The first saw crews attend a flat on Ludgate Hill, Manchester where a disposable BBQ had been placed directly on to a wooden balcony flooring.
Luckily, the fire was quickly extinguished, and firefighters gave the resident fire safety advice.
