Firefighters were called out to Whittington in the early hours of New Year's Day after a box of fireworks ignited inside a house.

Crews from Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands attended the property just before 1am, after reports of a fire in a porchway.

On arrival they discovered a box of fireworks had reignited after being brought back inside.

The owner thought the box had finished and so took it back inside.

A Carnforth Fire Station spokesman said: "If using fireworks take extra care and always leave outside after use."
