Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reels to prevent the fire from spreading any further.

They extinguished the fire by 6.40pm, when a fire investigation started into the cause of the fire.

The cause of the fire was deliberate.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

The last crew returned to station by 9.50pm.
