A WOMAN and a boy were treated for the effects of inhaling smoke from a chip pan fire.

A fire engine from Northwich attended the fire at a house in John Fryer Avenue, off Linnards Lane, Wincham.

Firefighters attended at just after 5pm yesterday, and on arrival they found that the fire had gone out.
