Two more arson attacks in buildings overnight

Crews from Rotherham and Parkway spent over an hour at a derelict building on Union Street, Masbrough after being called at 8.36pm. 

A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said: “Upon arrival, they found a large amount of rubbish on fire inside a derelict building. This was dealt with by 9.58pm and is thought to have been started deliberately.”

Crews were later called to Balby Road, Balby, at 11.42pm to deal with a “well alight” detached garage. 

The spokesperson added: “This was dealt with by 12.43am and is thought to have been started deliberately, by someone who pushed a wheelie bin up against the garage door and set it on fire.”
