Firebugs set light to empty house
FIREFIGHTERS battled a blaze in an empty house for almost two hours after an alleged arson attack.
A crew from Rotherham Fire Station attended the property on James Street, Masbrough, shortly after 9pm last night after a 999 call from concerned neighbours.
A spokesman for the fire service said that the terrace property was “well ablaze” by the time the firefighters arrived.
