Firebugs set light to house

VANDALS are thought to have torched a derelict council building by piling rubbish inside it and setting it alight.

Two fire engines fom Edlington and Maltby fire stations attended calls to the blaze on Hamilton Road at around 1pm on Sunday.

Crews took almost an hour and a half to bring the fire under control, using two hose reels.

A spokeswoman was unable to confirm how much damage had been done to the structure.
