Suspicious fire in Gretna

Around 0210 hours on Tuesday 2 August 2011 a fire was discovered at a shed situated at a house in Main Street, Springfield. As a result of the fire the shed and contents were completely destroyed, as was a VW Passat car which was parked next to the shed. The car is valued at £8000, and the contents of the shed, which included tools and machinery is valued at well over £1000. Early indications suggest that the fire is suspicious and a full joint investigation between police and Fire and Rescue Service officers will take place later today. Damage to the house was also caused due to the heat given off by the blaze.
