Fire services called to arson attack in block of flats
FIRE Services were called to an arson attack in a block of Halstead flats last night.
Firefighters were called to Trinity Court just before 11pm, but the fire was already out, so crews ventilated the property.
The fire was started in a laundry room, and the incident has been recorded as deliberate.
