Ipstones fire crew tackle deliberate car blaze

Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service have extinguished a car fire on a country lane, they believe was started deliberately.

Just before 1.30am on Tuesday (7th February), a crew was sent from Ipstones to Belmont Road, Stoke-on-Trent following reports of a vehicle fire.

They used a single hose reel jet to extinguish the car by 2.10am. It had been completely burned out and was almost unidentifiable because of the damage.

No one was injured. They inspected the car and later deemed the cause of the fire to be deliberate.

Staffordshire Police are now investigating.
