Fire service attends city blaze

Fire officers

There has been a house fire in Londonderry.

It broke out at a house in Drumlerry on the city's Culmore Road just before 1900 BST on Friday.

The building was unoccupied at the time. The fire service has said it is not treating the fire as suspicious.

In two other separate incidents, derelict houses in Northland Road in Derry and in Clonmean Drive in Strathfoyle were set alight overnight.

Also in Derry, two petrol bombs were thrown from the Fountain into Upper Bennett Street in the early hours of Saturday morning. Nobody was hurt, and there was no damage.
