Cadent Gas was also called to the scene after damage was caused to a service pipe on the building. A spokesperson for the gas emergency service said: "We were called out this evening to support the emergency service response to an incident involving damage to a gas 'service' pipe. The service pipe is the pipe which carries gas into a building from the bigger main in the road. Our priority in an incident like this is to make sure everything associated with gas is made safe, which we have been able to do by isolating gas supply to just this damaged pipe. Our teams have checked all gas assets in the vicinity and there is no additional impact."
A spokesperson for Transport for Greater Manchester said: "Our thoughts are with those who have been injured, and we wish them a full and speedy recovery."
