Police are treating the fire as suspicious, and officers have arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.

The teen remains in custody this morning.

Firefighters also tackled a blaze at a block of flats in Latchford last night.

Two fire engines attended the incident on Grammar School Road shortly after 7.30pm – with the fire having been started in oven in a ground-floor flat, caused by food left cooking unattended.

Crews spent around half an hour tackling the fire, with no injuries reported.
