HUNDREDS of pounds worth of timber was destroyed in a fire at an industrial unit yesterday.
Firebugs are believed to have been responsible for the blaze at the site of Oregan Canadian Europe Limited, Highfield Road industrial estate, Little Hulton.
A canvas covering protecting stacks of wood was set alight shortly before 2pm which caused 27 tonnes of timber to burn.
Firefighters spent three hours extinguishing the blaze as they had to dismantle every single stack of timber.
