Wheelie bins set on fire at York flats

Firefighters tackled wheelie bins which were set on fire in York this morning (Thursday).

Crews from Acomb, Huntington and York went to the fire outside a block of flats at Windsor Garth.

After putting out the fire the crews gained access to storage areas to check for fire spread.

A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “The fire caused 100% damage to the wheelie bins and some damage to storage area doors.

“The cause is believed to be deliberate.”
