WITNESSES are being sought following a suspected arson attack on a van parked on the driveway of a house at Orford during the early hours of this morning.
At 3.45am firefighters were called to reports of a van being on fire on the driveway of a house in Poole Avenue, Orford, Warrington.
On arrival the crew found the vehicle well alight. Two firefighters, one wearing breathing apparatus, extinguished the fire. They each used a hose reel jet to do so.
Once the fire was out they damped the vehicle down to make it safe, monitoring temperatures with a thermal imaging camera.
Firefighters were in attendance for around an hour. The fire is believed to have been started deliberately.
Anyone with information about the fire should call Cheshire Constabulary on 101, quoting IML 702323, give the details via https://www.cheshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
