ARSONISTS caused extensive damage to an empty house in Great Lever.
Neighbours raised the alarm at 4.30pm on Wednesday after they saw smoke coming from the terraced house in Crescent Road. Firefighters spent an hour battling to bring the blaze under control.
A fire brigade spokesman said the fire had been started by youths playing with matches. There was extensive damage to the bottom floor of the house and neighbouring houses suffered smoke damage.
