A fire chief has explained why crews did not search a blaze-damaged mill where human remains were found two months later. An independent review will now be carried out into how the fire service managed the original incident in Oldham.
It is suspected that part of the now demolished building was being used as suspected cannabis farm, the Manchester Evening News understands.
Crews from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service dealt with a huge blaze on May 7th at Bismark House Mill on Bower Street.
But they have now admitted that no search of the premises was carried out. This week Greater Manchester Police declared a major incident after the human remains were discovered, more than two months after the blaze ripped through the mill.
