Around 100 homes have been evacuated after a fire in a factory complex triggered a gas explosion.
The blaze broke out at the industrial site in the Radcliffe area of Greater Manchester at around 9.45 pm on Thursday.
Around 50 firefighters were called to the scene on Schofield Street as the flames spread across a number of units.
A gas mains pipe in one of the properties then exploded forcing emergency workers to evacuate nearby properties as a precaution, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said.
There are no reports of any injuries and nobody was believed to be inside the building, which is thought to belong to a freight company when the fire broke out.
