Bearded dragon given oxygen after Bolton fire rescue

Firefighters treated a bearded dragon lizard pulled from a house fire in Greater Manchester by giving it oxygen.

Crews were called to the terraced house on Chorley Old Road, Bolton, on Wednesday morning after reports of a blaze in the kitchen.

The fire service said the reptile, which was found in its tank, was given oxygen using a mask in the fire engine.

It is thought an electrical fault behind a fridge-freezer caused the fire.

Bearded dragons are originally from Australia and can grow up to 70cm (2ft) in length.
