A MOTHER and two young children escaped a house fire this morning.
The family was woken by the smoke alarm sounding.
Fire crews from Southend and Leigh were called to Nelson Drive, Leigh at 7.20am.
The fire which was started by a faulty tumble dryer was contained to the kitchen, but the whole house was blackened by smoke.
