Crews extinguish deliberate vehicle fireworks

We have extinguished vehicle fires in Stoke-on-Trent which were started deliberately.

Crews went to Withington Road, Fegg Hayes and Deakin Road, Chell Heath, just after 12.15am this morning (Friday 24 May).

Two cars were found well-alight on a driveway at a home on Withington Road and were extinguished.

On Deakin Road, a van was found alight and had spread to a house. Hose reel jets were used to put out the fire.

Thankfully, no-one was injured.

We inspected the vehicles and later deemed the cause of the fires to be deliberate.

Staffordshire Police are now investigating.
