Police believe the fire may have been started deliberately by youths
|
An investigation has been started following an arson attack on a property in Lancashire, police said. Fire crews were called to unoccupied premises in Frome Street, Preston, on Saturday where a fire had been started in an upstairs bedroom. The fire was put out but damage worth about £10,000 was caused to the property, predominately upstairs. Det Insp Dave McKenna said that there may have been a threat to life if the fire had spread to nearby properties. "We are treating this as arson and a full investigation is underway. "There is a suspicion youths could be responsible," he said.
