A huge fire has ripped through a block of student flats in Bolton.
Twenty fire engines raced to the scene as witnesses described looking up at a "wall of fire".
Huge flames and plumes of smoke can be seen pouring from what appears to be a top floor flat at The Cube student accommodation.
Debris could be seen falling from the building while still alight as people on the street below looked up in horror.
Students described having to flee and leave all of their belongings in the inferno.
