Firefighters and police were seen taping off a section of Ayres Road in Old Trafford this evening (8 October 26) following reports of a suspected fire at a Church.

According to eye witnesses at the scene a fire had broken out at St John’s Church and firefighters and police attended, from footage seen we could clearly see the junction of Ayres Road and both St Johns Road and Henerietta Street were closed, and a couple of fire trucks with water pipes everywhere.
